quotes by topic birds

" It is as simple as that. Birds fly because they have wings and so when you can‚Äôt grow the wings, you can‚Äôt be called a bird. Leaders make impacts because they create new ideas and so if you can‚Äôt think of any new innovative ideas, you can‚Äôt be a leader. "

Martin Luther King Jr

" The most risky day in the world will be the day the bird will decide to swim and the fish will decide to fly. Stay glued to what you can do. "

Martin Luther King Jr

" Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights; as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful ‚Äì but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away. "

Friedrich Nietzsche

" The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. "

" How can one deceive these dear little birds, when they look at one so sweetly and confidingly? I call them birds because there is nothing in the world better than birds! "

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

" We ate the birds. We ate them. We wanted their songs to flow up through our throats and burst out of our mouths, and so we ate them. We wanted their feathers to bud from our flesh. We wanted their wings, we wanted to fly as they did, soar freely among the treetops and the clouds, and so we ate them. We speared them, we clubbed them, we tangled their feet in glue, we netted them, we spitted them, we threw them onto hot coals, and all for love, because we loved them. We wanted to be one with them. We wanted to hatch out of clean, smooth, beautiful eggs, as they did, back when we were young and agile and innocent of cause and effect, we did not want the mess of being born, and so we crammed the birds into our gullets, feathers and all, but it was no use, we couldn‚Äôt sing, not effortlessly as they do, we can‚Äôt fly, not without smoke and metal, and as for the eggs we don‚Äôt stand a chance. We‚Äôre mired in gravity, we‚Äôre earthbound. We‚Äôre ankle-deep in blood, and all because we ate the birds, we ate them a long time ago, when we still had the power to say no. "

Margaret Atwood
