Bird Creature

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or creature:

    What bird so sings, yet so does wail?
    O, ‘tis the ravished nightingale!
    “Jug, jug, jug, jug, tereu,” she cries,
    And still her woes at midnight rise.
    Brave prick-song! who is’t now we hear?
    None but the lark so shrill and clear;
    John Lyly (1553–1606)

    The media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
