Famous quotes containing the words bird and/or shot:

    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)

    What constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men—each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature—are shot down wholesale.
    Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
