Tail Position

Famous quotes containing the words tail and/or position:

    His friends he loved. His direst earthly foes—
    Cats—I believe he did but feign to hate.
    My hand will miss the insinuated nose,
    Mine eyes the tail that wagg’d contempt at Fate.
    Sir William Watson (1858–1935)

    We say that someone occupies an official position, whereas it is the official position that occupies him.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
