Downward Dog

Famous quotes containing the words downward and/or dog:

    Go on, high ship, since now, upon the shore,
    The snake has left its skin upon the floor.
    Key West sank downward under massive clouds
    And silvers and greens spread over the sea. The moon
    Is at the mast-head and the past is dead.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “And how do you know that you’re mad?”
    “To begin with,” the Cat said, “a dog’s not mad. You grant that?”
    “I suppose so,” said Alice.
    “Well then,” the Cat went on, “you see a dog growls when it’s angry, and wags its tail when it’s pleased. Now I growl when I’m pleased, and wag my tail when I’m angry. Therefore I’m mad.”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
