Tail Wind

Famous quotes containing the words tail and/or wind:

    In fact, now I come to think of it, do we decide questions, at all? We decide answers, no doubt: but surely the questions decide us? It is the dog, you know, that wags the tail—not the tail that wags the dog.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Time in the hand is not control of time,
    Nor shattered fragments of an instrument
    A proof against the wind; the wind will rise,
    We can only close the shutters.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
