Famous quotes containing the words state and/or bird:

    “To place liberty in an indifferency, antecedent to the thought and judgment of the understanding, seems to me to place liberty in a state of darkness, wherein we can neither see nor say any thing of it.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)

    “The bird would cease and be as other birds
    But that he knows in singing not to sing.
    The question that he frames in all but words
    Is what to make of a diminished thing.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
