I have been wearing black, which was a reaction to the Ginger thing. But now I have hopes and I can be anything. Tomorrow I might be naked with a feather boa, who knows?
Geri Halliwell
Image
This feather stirs she lives! if it be so, it is a chance which does redeem all sorrows that ever I have felt.
William Shakespeare
Image
As I watch, the sky fills with clouds of snow feathers from every kind of bird there ever was and even some that only exist in the imagination, like the bluebirds that fly over the rainbow.
Kate Atkinson
Image
The objective is to pluck the geese in such a manner as to obtain the greatest number of feathers with the least amount of hissing.
Jean-Baptiste Colbert
Image
He worked night and day. He made a coat that would transform him he would be more than a man a winged creature, beautiful as light. All the birds brought him feathers. Even the eagle. Even the swan.
Catherine Fisher
Image
How can I lose faith in the justice of life, when the dreams of those who sleep upon feathers are not more beautiful than the dreams of those who sleep upon the earth?
Khalil Gibran
Image
People think they know me from somewhere, and then I open my mouth and they realise it's me from Birds Of A Feather.
Pauline Quirke
Image
I'm always in favor of more glamour. I embarrass my children, I think. I am the lady in feathers in the car pool line.
Mia Sara
Image
One should be light like a bird, and not like a feather.
Paul Valery

Someone like John Prine can write a song that tears into your soul, turn it over, and write a song that makes you laugh and feel light as a feather. With someone like him, you're getting a real picture of a person, a real expression.

What a fine-looking thing is war! Yet, dress it as we may, dress and feather it, daub it with gold, huzza it, and sing swaggering songs about it,--what is it, nine times out of ten, but murder in uniform!
Douglas William Jerrold
Image
What is love without passion? - A garden without flowers, a hat without feathers, tobogganing without snow.
Lady Randolph Churchill
Image
You're next, after the feather dancers. And you had to get their attention, because otherwise people would go, Oh, a poet. You really have to learn.
Sandra Cisneros
Image
Love seems to beautify and inspire all nature. It raises the earthly caterpillar into the ethereal butterfly, it paints the feathers in spring, it lights the glowworm's lamp, it wakens the song of birds, and inspires the poet's lay. Even inanimate Nature seems to feel the spell, and flowers glow with the richest colours.
John Lubbock
Image
I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.
Stephen King
Image
I’m convinced that fear is at the root of most bad writing. Dumbo got airborne with the help of a magic feather you may feel the urge to grasp a passive verb or one of those nasty adverbs for the same reason. Just remember before you do that Dumbo didn’t need the feather the magic was in him.
Stephen King
Image
Rule Number One is this: If you’re open to learning, you get your life-lessons delivered as gently as the tickle of a feather. But if you’re defensive, if you stubbornly persist in being right instead of learning the lesson at hand, if you stop paying attention to the tickles, the nudges, the clues—boom! Sledgehammer.
Gay Hendricks
Image
If you do anything well, gratitude is lighter than a feather if you give offense in anything, people's wrath is as heavy as lead.
Plautus
Image
She had been innocent once, a little girl playing with feathers on the floor of a devil's lair. She wasn't innocent now, but she didn't know what to do about it. This was her life: magic and shame and secrets and teeth and a deep, nagging hollow at the center of herself where something was most certainly missing.
Laini Taylor
Image
A Locanian having plucked all the feathers off from a nightingale and seeing what a little body it had, surely, quoth he, thou art all voice and nothing else.
Plutarch
Image
The soul, light as a feather, fluid as water, innocent as a child, responds to every movement of grace like a floating balloon.
Jean-Pierre de Caussade
Image
Some say that we shall never know, and that to the gods we are like the flies that the boys kill on a summer's day, and some say, to the contrary, that the very sparrows do not lose a feather that has not been brushed away by the finger of God.
Thornton Wilder
Image
To travel like a bird, lightly to view | Deserts where stone gods founder in the sand, | Ocean embraced in a white sleep with land | To escape time, always to start anew... | Hooded by a dark sense of destination... | Travelers, we're fabric of the road we go We settle, but like feathers on time's flow.
Cecil Day-Lewis
Image
Whom can I ask what I came to make happen in this world? Why do I move without wanting to, why am I not able to sit still? Why do I go rolling without wheels, flying without wings or feathers, and why did I decide to migrate if my bones live in Chile?
Pablo Neruda
