Famous quotes containing the words red, dragon and/or conspirators:
“Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches tigers
In red weather.”

“The dragon wing of night o’erspreads the earth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
