Cage Match

Famous quotes containing the words cage and/or match:

    A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.
    Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    Poor Desdemona! I am glad thy father’s dead.
    Thy match was mortal to him, and pure grief
    Shore his old thread in twain.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
