Famous quotes containing the words black and/or dog:

    I myself saw furious with blood
    Neoptolemus, at his side the black Atridae,
    Hecuba and the hundred daughters, Priam
    Cut down, his filth drenching the holy fires.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    When a rich man’s dog died, everyone commiserated. When a poor man lost his mother, no one noticed.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
