Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or creature:
“but as an Eagle
His cloudless thunderbolted on thir heads.
So vertue givn for lost,
Deprest, and overthrown, as seemd,
Like that self-begottn bird
In the Arabian woods embost,
That no second knows nor third,
And lay ere while a Holocaust,
From out her ashie womb now teemd
Revives, reflourishes, then vigorous most
When most unactive deemd,
And though her body die, her fame survives,
A secular bird ages of lives.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“I am afraid that the animals regard man as a creature like themselves which has lost its sound animal wits in a most dangerous waythat they regard him as the deranged animal, as the laughing animal, as the weeping animal, as the unhappy animal.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
