Bird Creature

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or creature:

    The bird is lost,
    Dead, with all the music:
    While sunsets heard the brain’s music
    Faded to last horizon notes.
    Owen Dodson (b. 1914)

    Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
