Famous quotes containing the words prize, winner, dog and/or award:
“He saw, he wish’d, and to the prize aspir’d.
Resolv’d to win, he meditates the way,
By force to ravish, or by fraud betray;
For when success a lover’s toil attends,
Few ask, if fraud or force attain’d his ends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
