Brown Dragons

Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or dragons:

    Oh you brown bacon machine,
    how sweet you lie,
    gaining a pound and a half a day,
    you rolled-up pair of socks,
    you dog’s nightmare....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Hermann and Humbert are alike only in the sense that two dragons painted by the same artist at different periods of his life resemble each other. Both are neurotic scoundrels, yet there is a green lane in Paradise where Humbert is permitted to wander at dusk once a year; but Hell shall never parole Hermann.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
