Black Lion

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or lion:

    The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences.... It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    Roused by the lash of his own stubborn tail
    Our lion now will foreign foes assail.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
