Nests Quotes

“Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round . . . The sky is round and I have heard the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind in its greatest power whirls, birds make their nest in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. Our teepees were round like the nests of birds. And they were always set in a circle, the nation’s hoop.”
― Chief Black Elk

“Hatred gives you nothing, takes nothing from you, but destroys everything you have! Be careful of ideas of hatred that comes into your head. Destroy them before they make nests in your mind!”

“Birds of sorrow may fly over our heads,
But we must prevent them from building their nests,
For they can cause pain that is hard to heal
If our happiness they manage to steal.”

“If the birds keep on making nests, if they know there’s gonna be a tomorrow, then I wanna stick around and see what they’re singing about. They’re who I’m gonna listen to. . .”
― Robin Brown, Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir

“Storks are said to bring luck to the houses on which they roost. (They're also a fire hazard: they build nests up to six feet across and ten feet deep, returning year after year to add to them.)”
― Katherine Rundell, Vanishing Treasures: A Bestiary of Extraordinary Endangered Creatures
