Wherever there are birds, there is hope.
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
Man studied birds for centuries, trying to learn how to make a machine to fly like them. He never did do the trick his final success came when he broke away entirely and tried new methods.
John W. Campbell
Image
So extraordinary is Nature with her choicest treasures, spending plant beauty as she spends sunshine, pouring it forth into land and sea, garden and desert. And so the beauty of lilies falls on angels and men, bears and squirrels, wolves and sheep, birds and bees.
John Muir
Image
We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Image
We're not protecting the environment for the sake of the fishes and the birds. We're protecting it for our own sake.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Image
No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.
Bob Dylan
Image
It would be ten years before they saw each other again, and their meeting would be thick with birds.
Toni Morrison
Image
Especially when the October wind With frosty fingers punishes my hair, Caught by the crabbing sun I walk on fire And cast a shadow crab upon the land, By the sea's side, hearing the noise of birds, Hearing the raven cough in winter sticks, My busy heart who shudders as she talks Sheds the syllabic blood and drains her words.
Dylan Thomas
Image
I want to sleep like the birds then wake to write you again without hope that you read me.
Donald Hall
Image
People don't alter history any more than birds alter the sky, they just make brief patterns in it.
Terry Pratchett
Image
I have read somewhere that in the Emperor's palace at Byzantium was a tree made of gold and silver, and artificial birds that sang.
William Butler Yeats
Image
Cursing themselves in ragged dreamsfire has singed the edges of,they know a slow dying the fields have come to terms with.Shimmering fans work against the heat& smell of gunpowder, making moneyfloat from hand to hand. The next momenta rocket pushes a white fistthrough night sky, & they scatter like birds& fall into the shape their liveshave become.

The birds did not understand a single word of what he was saying, but that made no matter, for they put their heads on one side, and looked wise, which is quite as good as understanding a thing, and very much easier.
Oscar Wilde
Image
This is what birds see. Only they're free and safe. The very opposite of me.
Suzanne Collins
Image
When I wake up in the morning, the first things that I see are the clouds. They're right there. I look out my window now and there's always, always a black bird of some sort on the ledge there. Usually I wake up and look at the birds.
Saul Williams
Image
Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
David Letterman
Image
Pigeon racing is a lousy, greedy, and often unlawful activity. One thing that it is not is kind to birds.
Ingrid Newkirk
Image
I had an awful joke about Auschwitz I drove everybody crazy with that joke. But that joke makes me feel good. You know what cuit means? When something is cooked. It's a joke like that: What are the birds doing when they fly over Auschwitz? 'Cuit! Cuit!' It's awful, but it's desacralizing. For me, it's good.
Chantal Akerman
Image
It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives. Nourish it then, that it may leaf and bloom and fill with singing birds.
Black Elk

I got a job as a dishwasher in Oakland, and I would draw all day. It was nice because the lady who ran the boardinghouse where I worked let me live there for nothing if I gave her some drawings every week - mostly park drawings of birds and such.
Claes Oldenburg
Image
Birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.
Black Elk
Image
Who do you suppose decided that the birds are free? Even if they can fly the skies unless they have a destination and a branch upon which to perch and rest their wings they might even come to resent having those wings. True freedom... true freedom may be having somewhere to return to.
Kazuya Minekura
Image
When gloaming treads the heels of day And birds sit cowering on the spray, Along the flowery hedge I stray, To meet mine ain dear somebody.
Robert Tannahill
Image
I've always loved stories of animals and birds that can appear to be human, just by taking off their skins or their feathers.
