Bird Creature

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or creature:

    You will believe
    a bird flew by the window, a wandering bee
    buzzed in the hallway, a wind
    rippled the bronze grasses. Or will you
    know who it is?
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    If we cannot find a way to interpret the utterances and other behaviour of a creature as revealing a set of beliefs largely consistent and true by our own standards, we have no reason to count that creature as rational, as having beliefs, or as saying anything.
    Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
