Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or birds:
“I have not much faith in women in fiction.... Women are so horribly subjective and they have such scorn for the healthy commonplace. When a woman writes a story of adventure, a stout sea tale, a manly battle yarn, anything without wine, women, and love, then I will begin to hope for something great from them, not before.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“To the birds and trees he talks:
Caesar of his leafy Rome,
There the poet is at home.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
