Dragons Quotes

Did not learned men, too, hold, till within the last twenty-five years, that a flying dragon was an impossible monster?

Criss Jami

If we only arrange our life in accordance with the principle which tells us that we must always trust in the difficult, then what now appears to us as the most alien will become our most intimate and trusted experience.

Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett
