The very earth seemed to be alive with her presense, the wind whispered her name and the foliage did her bidding. If only we knew how much more real the dragon seemed when she was upon us..."

"The enlightened man enjoys perfect freedom in active life. He is like a dragon supported by deep waters or like a tiger that commands its mountain retreat. The man who is not enlightened drifts about in the affairs of the world. He is like a ram that gets its horns caught in a fence or like a man who waits for a hare to run against a tree stump and stun itself."
--Hekiganroku by Setcho

"...With eager dragon-eyes;"

"I imagined a dragon inside myself," Quaid explains. "We all have one, in one form or another. To me, this dragon is both the wild nature of ourselves and our conscience in his embodiment of the Old Code ethical behavior and morality. At the same time, he's our unconscious, the place from which our dreams arise. I just spoke my lines to the dragon within me."
--Dennis Quaid on "Dragonheart"

Advice: If you happen upon the skull of a dragon, leave that place quickly. For whatever killed it, may still be around.

"Never laugh at live Dragons."
--"The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien

"Long ago, when man was young and the dragon already old, the wisest of our race took pity on man, so he gathered together all the dragons, making them vow to watch over man always. And at the moment of his death, the night became alive with those stars. And thus was born the Dragons' Heaven. But when we die, not all dragons are admitted to this shining place. No, we have to earn it! And if we don't, our spirit disappears as if we never were."
--Draco, the last of the dragons

"It never does to leave a live Dragon out of the equation"
--The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien

"This of course is the way to talk to dragons, if you don't want to reveal your proper name (which is wise), and don't want to infuriate them by a flat refusal (which is also very wise). No dragon can resist the facination of riddling talk and of wasting time to trying to understand it."
--The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien
