Famous quotes containing the word birds:

    “Fish got to swim, birds got to fly.”
    —Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)

    “man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an
    evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the
    sons of men snared in an evil time,”
    —Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. IX, 12)

    “It was soldiers went marching over the rocks
    And still the birds came, came in watery flocks,
    Because it was spring and the birds had to come.
    No doubt that soldiers had to be marching
    And that drums had to be rolling, rolling, rolling.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
