Phoenix Desert Dogs

Famous quotes containing the words phoenix, desert and/or dogs:

    “Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
    And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
    Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
    And burn the long-liv’d phoenix in her blood;
    Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st,
    And do what’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
    To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “We black men seem the sole oasis of simple faith and reverence in a dusty desert of dollars and smartness.”
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    Is seldom, if ever, done,
    But mad dogs and Englishmen
    Go out in the midday sun.”
