White Lions

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or lions:

    As a bathtub lined with white porcelain,
    When the hot water gives out or goes tepid,
    So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion,
    O my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    There is no magic decoding ring that will help us read our young adolescent’s feelings. Rather, what we need to do is hold out our antennae in the hope that we’ll pick up the right signals.
    —The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, III, ch.4 (1985)
