If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting. — © Darrell Waltrip
If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting.
It is no accident that the photographer becomes a photographer any more than the lion tamer becomes a lion tamer.
I never use a score when conducting my orchestra... Does a lion tamer enter a cage with a book on how to tame a lion?
Have you recently been through a challenge, disappointment, break up or disloyalty with somebody in your life? If so, it's important after you've been hurt, to take some time to think like a lion tamer about your pain, so you can tame the possibility of more negativity coming back to bite you again!
I have never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from other men. There is not much harm in a lion. He has no ideals, no religion, no politics, no chivalry, no gentility; in short, no reason for destroying anything that he does not want to eat
Actually, I jade very quickly. Once is usually enough. Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more.
I've got a friend who is a lion tamer. He used to be a school teacher till he lost his nerve.
I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.
For me, it's about the desire to win. My audience becomes a crowd of wild animals and I have to be the lion-tamer or be eaten.
I think I'd like to be a lion tamer, actually. That - that would provide the most audience entertainment if something went really badly.
Art was always a means to an end with me. You get an idea, and you just can't wait. Once you've started, then you're in there with the punches flying. There's plenty of trouble, but you can handle it. You can't back out. It gets you down once in a while, but it's exciting. Our whole business is exciting.
With time, art developed Bip, my alter ego. He was not only a lion tamer or a street musician but a soldier revealing the tragedy of ephemeral life.
Brave is the lion tamer, brave is the world subduer, but braver is the one who has subdued himself.
Everyone is in awe of the lion tamer in a cage with half a dozen lions-everyone but a school bus driver.
Once in a while you have to bite the hand that reads you.
I’ll wait out here until the two of you are finished. Just call out if you need anything. Like a priest, cop, or lion tamer. (Aimee)
People think librarians are unromantic, unimaginative. This is not true. We are people whose dreams run in particular ways. Ask a mountain climber what he feels when he sees a mountain; a lion tamer what goes through his mind when he meets a new lion; a doctor confronted with a beautiful malfunctioning body. The idea of a library full of books, the books full of knowledge, fills me with fear and love and courage and endless wonder.
