Quotes by Willy Ley (?)

“In the tilled fields around his cities his mastery was disputed by wolves and occasional bears, and beyond those fields began the dense forest realm where Nature held sway undisputed by man and where every journey became an adventure.”
― Willy Ley, The Lungfish, the Dodo, and the Unicorn: An Excursion into Romantic Zoology

“Where this statement originated I can't tell; as far as the Chinese dragon's shape goes, any lizard might have been its original model, or even a dachshund.”
