Bird Base

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or base:

“Some say that ever ‘gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour’s birth is celebrated,
This bird of dawning singeth all night long,
And then they say no spirit dare stir abroad,
The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallowed, and so gracious, is that time.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“No love is entirely without worth, even when the frivolous calls to the frivolous and the base to the base.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
