Dogs Road Show

Famous quotes containing the words dogs, road and/or show:

    The very dogs were all asleep, and the flies, drunk with moist sugar in the grocer’s shop, forgot their wings and briskness, and baked to death in dusty corners of the window.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    Down the road someone is practicing scales,
    The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.
    John Updike (b. 1932)
