Bird Base

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or base:

    For sounds in winter nights, and often in winter days, I heard the forlorn but melodious note of a hooting owl indefinitely far; such a sound as the frozen earth would yield if struck with a suitable plectrum, the very lingua vernacula of Walden Wood, and quite familiar to me at last, though I never saw the bird while it was making it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I have always heard, Sancho, that doing good to base fellows is like throwing water into the sea.
    Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
