Chickens Coming Home

Famous quotes containing the words chickens, coming and/or home:

    “The surprise of animals... in and out, cats and dogs and a milk goat and chickens and guinea hens, all taken for granted, as if man was intended to live on terms of friendly intercourse with the rest of creation instead of huddling in isolation on the fourteenth floor of an apartment house in a city where animals occurred behind bars in the zoo.”
    —Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)

    “You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen, the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “I will never again go to people under false pretenses even if it is to give them the Holy Bible. I will never again sell anything, even if I have to starve. I am going home now and I will sit down and really write about people.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)
