Dragon Quotations
It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion.
Bertrand Russell
A poet can write about a man slaying a dragon, but not about a man pushing a button that releases a bomb.
W. H. Auden
When the prison doors are opened, the real dragon will fly out.
Ho Chi Minh
It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.
J. R. R. Tolkien
You can use martial arts to tell a different story. Ang Lee used martial arts in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to talk about love.
Jet Li
Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.
Havelock Ellis
I remember when we were doing the first Dragon's Lair, I got really involved with coming up with all the little rooms and what was the danger in the room and going into it with bats and spiders and snakes.
Don Bluth
I'm also very pleased that we were able to include a full orchestrated score for Dragon's Lair 3D. The 40 different music pieces blend with the action to make you feel more a part of the whole adventure.
Don Bluth
The heart of Dragon's Lair has always been its compelling story. With Dragon's Lair 3D, we think the team has really created an interactive animated movie.
Don Bluth
Dragon's Lair 3D is about as close as you can come to controlling an animated feature film.
Don Bluth
And I plan to write a sequel to Dragon Rider.
Cornelia Funke
I always wanted to ride a dragon myself, so I decided to do this for a year in my imagination.
Cornelia Funke
Take it from a guy: If you're in love with somebody, you will swim the stream, you will climb the mountain, you will slay the dragon. You're going to get to her somehow, some way.
Phil McGraw
Stress is an important dragon to slay - or at least tame - in your life.
Marilu Henner
After The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal, the audience would like to know where, when, and who arrests Hannibal Lecter for the first time. This is the story of Red Dragon.
Dino De Laurentiis
I think so, Silence of the Lambs was a great, suspenseful thriller and I would expect Red Dragon to be similar. And I think it's very character driven.
Emily Watson
There were dragons to slay in the old days. Nixon was a good dragon.
Pat Oliphant
The puppet characters were combinations of people I had known and to some degree aspects of my own personality. Weird was based on someone I knew in Chicago. Dirty Dragon was based on a good friend I had in Indianapolis.
William Jackson
Always speak politely to an enraged Dragon.
Steven Brust
