Quotes on Birds

It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.
Aesop

In order to see birds it is necessary to become
part of the silence - Robert Lynd

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.
Stephen King
