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.

Billy Connolly

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?

Dimitris Mitropoulos

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

George Bernard Shaw

If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting.

Darrell Waltrip

I've got a friend who is a lion tamer. He used to be a school teacher till he lost his nerve.

Les Dawson

I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.

George Bernard Shaw

I think I'd like to be a lion tamer, actually. That - that would provide the most audience entertainment if something went really badly.

Andy Serkis

I've never not been sure that I was a photographer any more than you would not be sure you were yourself. I was a photographer, or wanting to be a photographer, or beginning - but some phase of photographer I've always been.

Dorothea Lange

The common schools are the stomachs of the country in which all people that come to us are assimilated within a generation. When a lion eats an ox, the lion does not become an ox but the ox becomes a lion.

Henry Ward Beecher

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.

Marcel Marceau

Brave is the lion tamer, brave is the world subduer, but braver is the one who has subdued himself.

Johann Gottfried Herder

Everyone is in awe of the lion tamer in a cage with half a dozen lions-everyone but a school bus driver.

Laurence J. Peter

When I was a kid, I worked in the circus. It was a touring circus that was owned by a man named Terrell Jacobs. It was just one big tent, and he was a lion tamer. He didn't have any kids, but the bit was that I would dress up as his son in an identical outfit.

Christopher Walken

You do your work as a photographer and everything becomes past. Words are more like thoughts; the photographer's picture is always surrounded by a kind of romantic glamor - no matter what you do, and how you twist it.

Robert Frank

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)

Sherrilyn Kenyon

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.
