Famous quotes containing the words big and/or nest:
“Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? and ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.... Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
—Harper Lee (b. 1926)
