Famous quotes containing the word birds:

    “Novelists do not write as birds sing, by the push of nature. It is part of the job that there should be much routine and some daily stuff on the level of carpentry.”
    —William Golding (b. 1911)

    “We cannot do without it, and yet we disgrace and vilify the same. It may be compared to a cage, the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair to get out.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Go, birds of spring: let winter have his fee;
    Let a bleak paleness chalk the door,
    So all within be livelier than before.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)
