Bird People

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or people:

    The bird is lost,

    Faded to last horizon notes.

    There is a certain embarrassment about being a storyteller in these times when stories are considered not quite as satisfying as statements and statements not quite as satisfying as statistics; but in the long run, a people is known, not by its statements or its statistics, but by the stories it tells.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
