Tigers Won

Famous quotes containing the words tigers and/or won:

    Aunt Jennifer’s tigers prance across a screen,
    Bright topaz denizens of a world of green.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Is it true or false that Belfast is north of London? That the galaxy is the shape of a fried egg? That Beethoven was a drunkard? That Wellington won the battle of Waterloo? There are various degrees and dimensions of success in making statements: the statements fit the facts always more or less loosely, in different ways on different occasions for different intents and purposes.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
