Bird Base

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or base:

    “The caged bird sings
    with a fearful trill
    of things unknown
    but longed for still
    and his tune is heard
    on the distant hill
    for the caged bird
    sings of freedom.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    “Shall we now
    Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
    And sell the mighty space of our large honors
    For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
    I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
    Than such a Roman.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
