Famous quotes containing the words gallery of, gallery, dogs and/or art:

    “I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “Good dogs do not bite chickens; good husbands do not beat their wives.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “‘O blissful God, that art so just and true,
    Lo, how that thou bewrayest murder alway!
    Murder will out, that see we day by day.
    Murder is so wlatsom and abominable”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
