New Favorite Dragon Quote :) - A Meeting of Minds

tatiana · Jul 27 2011, 12:07 PM

Just read an opinion article today that was in the Shelbyville Times-Gazette (I made a google alert in case of Anne McCaffrey and dragon news), and I think this is my new favorite quote.

Quote:

The horses will always be here, but life only gives you a few chances to ride dragons.

Here's the link to the original article:

Do you all have any favorite dragon quotes?

mawra · Jul 27 2011, 03:23 PM

I like the quote

Priscilla · Jul 27 2011, 03:55 PM

Probably have some in Terry Pratchett's books, but they are downstairs and I'm too lazy to look them up.

Greenrider Tresa · Jul 27 2011, 05:47 PM

I read the article, and I suspect that this author actually would get along VERY well, with Anne. And yes, I, too, love the quote! This writer is very good!!
*curtsy* That's my two cents' worth!

I've used a trap full of tunnle snakes, and the tunnles they make.

A quote from a dragon that I really like:

"Our kind have shed rivers of blood, matched against each other. I would have the flow stopped. Shall it always be thus, one family slaughtering another, until the end of time?"

--Wistala (from E.E. Knight's Dragon Avenger)

"If you can't stand the heat, don't tickle the dragon!"
