Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sparrow:
“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“When a sparrow sips in the river, the water doesnt recede. Giving charity does not deplete wealth. Saint Kabir says so.”
