Withers/horses

Famous quotes containing the words withers and/or horses:

“Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)

“General statements omit what we really want to know. Example: “Some horses run faster than others.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
