Feathers Quotes

How unjust then to meet that person you love, and be kept away from them only because ones bed is made of hay, and the other, feathers Picture Quote #1

Worry is an old man with bended head, carrying a load of feathers which he thinks are lead Picture Quote #1

The books leapt and danced like roasted birds, their wings ablaze with red and yellow feathers Picture Quote #1

I’d forgotten how that sort of craving felt, how it rose suddenly and loudly from the pit of my stomach like a flock of startle birds, then floated back down in the slow, beguiling way of feathers Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The city was asleep on its right side and shaking with violent nightmares. Long puffs of snoring came out of the chimneys. Its feet were sticking out because the clouds did not cover it altogether. There was a hole in them and the white feathers were falling out. The city had untied all its bridges like so many buttons to feel at ease. Wherever there was a lamplight the city scratched itself until it went out Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We seem to be riding on the top of the highest mast of the tallest ship; and yet at the same time we know that nothing of this sort matters; love is not proved thus, nor great achievements completed thus; so that we sport with the moment and preen our feathers in it lightly Picture Quote #1

In painting feathers, you want to create the look of feathers, but if you try to paint all the feathers, you have nothing but disaster Picture Quote #1

Coaches will do what they can but it doesn’t necessarily bother me. You are an international referee for a reason. If things like that are going to ruffle your feathers, don’t bother doing the job Picture Quote #1

When you can see the colors of the feathers, you’ll also understand how you can expand your borders to infinity Picture Quote #1

The wolf howled under the leaves and spit out the prettiest feathers of his meal of fowl: Like him I consume myself Picture Quote #1

After an age of leaves and feathers someone dead thought of the mountain as money and cut the trees that were here and the wind and the rain at night. It is hard to say it Picture Quote #1

Writing songs is like capturing birds without killing them. Sometimes you end up with nothing but a mouthful of feathers Picture Quote #1

Well, I’ve ruffled a few feathers at all the institutions I’ve led. But I think that’s part of leadership Picture Quote #1

You might be a redneck if a full-grown ostrich has fewer feathers than your cowboy hat Picture Quote #1

The way to handle people is to treat them like chickens. Take away everything they have by plucking all their feathers and then throw them a few bread crumbs. They will then follow you forever Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved stories of animals and birds that can appear to be human, just by taking off their skins or their feathers Picture Quote #1

It is easier to gather up a bag of loose feathers than to round up or head off a single lie Picture Quote #1

What is love without passion? - A garden without flowers, a hat without feathers, tobogganing without snow Picture Quote #1

Birds themselves are so interesting and intelligent, and they give so many cues without being verbal, so they say such great things. Feathers are superior to fur, even. They’re so beautiful, and nature uses such amazing colors Picture Quote #1

In the late 1930s, both the British and American movie industries made a succession of films celebrating the decency of the British Empire in order to challenge the threatening tide of Nazism and fascism and also to provide employment for actors from Los Angeles’s British colony. The best two were Hollywood’s Gunga Din and Britain’s The Four Feathers Picture Quote #1

I ruffle a lot of feathers. And I’m also selective - that makes you a troublemaker. But so be it. I laid a cornerstone for black actors, and that makes me happy Picture Quote #1

I love funky shoes and hats. I’m into large-brimmed fedoras with big feathers in fun colors like purple and lime-yellow. I just think hats add pizzazz to your outfits Picture Quote #1

Soft. Her hand was so soft, like cat fur, like bird feathers, like...everything soft he could think of. Her thumb caressing the corner of his mouth and her lips when they first touched his were tentative Picture Quote #1

I do love one-upmanship sometimes, like when you see kids breakdancing and who can do the best tricks. It’s common, it’s in our nature as animals, like the birds of paradise who’ve got the best feathers and that sort of stuff. But it’s fun when it’s impulsive and it’s about fun Picture Quote #1

Movement is most of what a bird is. When they’re dead, they’re only feathers and air Picture Quote #1

I think we could jam a bit more in our coffins than we do. I’m going to have some books, some I haven’t finished or haven’t read, some feathers and nice bits and pieces, the odd note. Just on the journey for the next bit Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

What sells a book sells a book, same in traditional or self-publishing . You gotta shake your tail feathers Picture Quote #1
