Million Birds

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or birds:

    Mere human beings can’t afford to be fanatical about anything.... Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.
    Storm Jameson (1891–1986)

    One ought not to have to care
    So much as you and I
    Care when the birds come round the house
    To seem to say good-by;
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
