Tiger Hidden Dragon

Famous quotes containing the words tiger, hidden and/or dragon:

    When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Art for art’s sake? I should think so, and more so than ever at the present time. It is the one orderly product which our middling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths, it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden ... it is the best evidence we can have of our dignity.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Opinion is not worth a rush;
    In this altar-piece the knight,
    Who grips his long spear so to push
    That dragon through the fading light,
    Loved the lady; and it’s plain
    The half-dead dragon was her thought....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
