Season Started

Famous quotes containing the words season and/or started:

    The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Helen: What do you do?
    Don: Yes, what do I do? I’m a writer. I’ve just started a novel. As a matter of fact, I’ve started several but I never seem to finish one.
    Helen: Well, in that case, why don’t you write short stories?
    Don: Oh, I have some of those. The first paragraph.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
