Andrew  Smith
“You must be crazy, after all, if a bird loves you.”
Andrew Smith, Grasshopper Jungle

“ 'Tragedy admires man. Comedy feels a bit sorry for him.' We think we are kings or queens, masters of the universe or at least our own destiny. We forget that a foot may crush us, or that the wind may knock us down. We are not in control. We are subject to gas and sloughing skin and dirty pores. Most of our joints will eventually fail us. We have big brains which we can imagine great things, but we can't really get off the ground. It's like we have wings but we can't fly.”
Debbie Blue, Consider the Birds: A Provocative Guide to Birds of the Bible

Malcolm Lowry
“The movements of some more little red birds in the garden, like animated rosebuds, appeared unbearably jittery and thievish. It was as though the creatures were attached by sensitive wires to his nerves.”
Malcolm Lowry, Under the Volcano

Robert Lynd
“There is nothing in which the birds differ more from man than the way in which they can build and yet leave a landscape as it was before.”
Robert Lynd, The Blue Lion; And Other Essays

Sun Tzu
“The rising of birds in their flight is the sign of an ambuscade. Startled beasts indicate that a sudden attack is coming.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War
