Famous quotes containing the words state and/or bird:

    “But the nomads were the terror of all those whom the soil or the advantages of the market had induced to build towns. Agriculture therefore was a religious injunction, because of the perils of the state from nomadism.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The bird is not in its ounces and inches, but in its relations to Nature; and the skin or skeleton you show me, is no more a heron, than a heap of ashes or a bottle of gases into which his body has been reduced, is Dante or Washington.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
