Bird People

Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or people:

    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)

    People buy their necessities in shops and have to pay dearly for them because they have to assist in paying for what is also on sale there but only rarely finds purchasers: the luxury and amusement goods. So it is that luxury continually imposes a tax on the simple people who have to do without it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
