Bird People

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or people:

    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?

    After the earthquake, which had destroyed three-quarters of Lisbon, the country’s wise men had found no more efficacious means of preventing total ruin than to give the people a fine auto-da-fé.
