Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or dog:
“If strange men come from the house
To lead her away do not say
That she is happy being crazy;
Lead gently astray;
Let her finish her dance,
Let her finish her dance.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“As the Arab proverb says, “The dog barks and the caravan passes”. After having dropped this quotation, Mr. Norpois stopped to judge the effect it had on us. It was great; the proverb was known to us: it had been replaced that year among men of high worth by this other: “Whoever sows the wind reaps the storm”, which had needed some rest since it was not as indefatigable and hardy as, “Working for the King of Prussia”.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
