Bird Base

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or base:

    I’ll be a new bird with the head of an ass,
    Two pigs’ feet, two men’s feet, and two of a hen
    Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)

    I think it is worse to be poor in mind than in purse, to be stunted and belittled in soul, made a coward, made a liar, made mean and slavish, accustomed to fawn and prevaricate, and “manage” by base arts a husband or a father,—I think this is worse than to be kicked with hobnailed shoes.
    Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904)
