Famous quotes containing the words state and/or bird:

    “If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state of affairs imaginable.”
    —André Breton (1896–1966)

    “With a broad shoehorn
    I am unstuffing a big bird in this dream
    Msomebody else’s holiday feast—
    and repacking the crop of my own,
    knowing it will burst with such
    onion, oyster, savory bread crust.”
    —Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
