Just because we have birds inside us, we don't have to be cages. ~ Dean Young
Bird Cages quotes by Dean Young
He who defines his conduct by ethics imprisons his song-bird in a cage. ~ Khalil Gibran
Bird Cages quotes by Khalil Gibran
As for describing the smell of a spaniel mixed with the smell of torches, laurels, incense, banners, wax candles and a garland of rose leaves crushed by a satin heel that has been laid up in camphor, perhaps Shakespeare, had he paused in the middle of writing Antony and Cleopatra - But Shakespeare did not pause. Confessing our inadequacy, then, we can but note that to Flush Italy, in these the fullest, the freest, the happiest years of his life, meant mainly a succession of smells. Love, it must be supposed, was gradually losing its appeal. Smell remained. Now that they were established in Casa Guidi again, all had their avocations. Mr. Browning wrote regularly in one room; Mrs. Browning wrote regularly in another. The baby played in the nursery. But Flush wandered off into the streets of Florence to enjoy the rapture of smell. He threaded his path through main streets and back streets, through squares and alleys, by smell. He nosed his way from smell to smell; the rough, the smooth, the dark, the golden. He went in and out, up and down, where they beat brass, where they bake bread, where the women sit combing their hair, where the bird-cages are piled high on the causeway, where the wine spills itself in dark red stains on the pavement, where leather smells and harness and garlic, where cloth is beaten, where vine leaves tremble, where men sit and drink and spit and dice - he ran in and out, always with his nose to the ground, drinking in the essence; or with his nose in ~ Virginia Woolf
Bird Cages quotes by Virginia Woolf
How can a bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing? ~ William Blake
Bird Cages quotes by William Blake
A bird in a cage is safe but God didn't create birds for that. ~ Paulo Coelho
Bird Cages quotes by Paulo Coelho
A bird in a cage is not half a bird. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Bird Cages quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Let the cage bird and the cage bird mate and the wild bird mate in the wild. ~ William Butler Yeats
Bird Cages quotes by William Butler Yeats
If the bird does like its cage, and does like its sugar and will not leave it, why keep the door so very carefully shut? ~ Olive Schreiner
Bird Cages quotes by Olive Schreiner
While still in the cage of your being behold the spirit bird before it flies away. ~ Rumi
Bird Cages quotes by Rumi
Some newspapers are fit only to line the bottom of bird cages. ~ Spiro T. Agnew
Bird Cages quotes by Spiro T. Agnew
My soul-bird loves my body-cage Only when it is kept fit, Pure and absolutely immaculate. ~ Sri Chinmoy
Bird Cages quotes by Sri Chinmoy
Running made me feel like a bird let out of a cage, I loved it that much. ~ Priscilla Welch
Bird Cages quotes by Priscilla Welch
The feelings trembled and flapped in his chest like a bird newly put in a cage. ~ Rumi
Bird Cages quotes by Rumi
We had our arms round each other. It was like holding in my hand some rare, exhausted, nearly doomed bird which I had miraculously happened to find. ~ James Baldwin
Bird Cages quotes by James Baldwin
Not a single bird makes its first leap from a tree without faith, and not a single animal in the jungle begins its day without faith. Faith is the flame that eliminates fear, and faith is the emperor of dreams. ~ Suzy Kassem
Bird Cages quotes by Suzy Kassem
The extracellular genesis of cells in animals seemed to me, ever since the publication of the cell theory [of Schwann], just as unlikely as the spontaneous generation of organisms. These doubts produced my observations on the multiplication of blood cells by division in bird and mammalian embryos and on the division of muscle bundles in frog larvae. Since then I have continued these observations in frog larvae, where it is possible to follow the history of tissues back to segmentation. ~ Robert Remak
Bird Cages quotes by Robert Remak
Narcissus knew only too well what a charming golden bird had flown to him. This hermit soon sensed a kindred soul in Goldmund, in spite of their apparent contrasts. Narcissus was dark and spare; Goldmund, a radiant youth. Narcissus was analytical, a thinker; Goldmund, a dreamer with the soul of a child. But something they had in common bridged these contrasts: both were refined; both were different from the others because of obvious gifts and signs; both bore the special mark of fate. ~ Hermann Hesse
Bird Cages quotes by Hermann Hesse
We fly into our own gilded cages and then bemoan the bars. ~ Angela Darling
Bird Cages quotes by Angela Darling
If there are any cages in this marriage, it is I who have built them. And I who hold the key to their locks. ~ Geneen Roth
Bird Cages quotes by Geneen Roth
Clever bird, clever man, clever clever fool," said Patchface, jangling. "Oh, clever clever clever fool." He began to sing. "The shadows come to dance, my lord, dance my lord, dance my lord," he sang, hopping from one foot to the other and back again. "The shadows come to stay, my lord, stay my lord, stay my lord." He jerked his head with each word, the bells in his antlers sending up a clangor. The ~ George R R Martin
Bird Cages quotes by George R R Martin
An expense of ends to means is fate;Morganization tyrannizing over character. The menagerie, or forms and powers of the spine, is a book of fate: the bill of the bird, the skull of the snake, determines tyrannically its limits. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bird Cages quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each day has a story to - deserves to be told, because we are made of stories. I mean, scientists say that human beings are made of atoms, but a little bird told me that we are also made of stories. ~ Eduardo Galeano
Bird Cages quotes by Eduardo Galeano
Fans of the 'Inbetweeners' like the show because it is about four normal people, average guys or lower than average losers. ~ Simon Bird
Bird Cages quotes by Simon Bird
Well caught, Cloudpaw," he meowed. "I didn't see you coming until it was too late." "Nor did this stupid bird," crowed Cloudpaw, flicking his tail smugly. ~ Erin Hunter
Bird Cages quotes by Erin Hunter
In a city by the sea which was once called St. Petersburg, then Petrograd, then Leningrad, then, much later, St. Petersburg again, there stood a long, thin house on a long, thin street. By a long, thin window, a child in a pale blue dress and pale green slippers waited for a bird to marry her. ~ Catherynne M Valente
Bird Cages quotes by Catherynne M Valente
Three things to never leave home without: your keys, birdseed for the birds, and your mala beads to chant through difficulties. ~ Sharon Gannon
Bird Cages quotes by Sharon Gannon
I don't know about birds
nor do I know the history of fire.
But I believe that my solitude should have wings ~ Alejandra Pizarnik
Bird Cages quotes by Alejandra Pizarnik
Don't expect me to be sane anymore. Don't let's be sensible. It was a marriage at Louveciennes - you can't dispute it. I came away with pieces of you sticking to me; I am walking about, swimming, in an ocean of blood, your Andalusian blood, distilled and poisonous ... I can't see how I can go on living away from you - these intermissions are death. How did it seem to you when Hugo came back? Was I still there? I can't picture you moving about with him as you did with me. Legs closed. Frailty. Sweet, treacherous acquiescence. Bird docility. You became a woman with me. I was almost terrified by it. You are not just thirty years old - you are a thousand years old.
Here I am back and still smouldering with passion, like wine smoking. Not a passion any longer for flesh, but a complete hunger for you, a devouring hunger. ~ Henry Miller
Bird Cages quotes by Henry Miller
I guess that after three straight years of my not being anything -- not emo, not Christian, not prep, not jock, not ghetto, not punk, not hipster, not skank, not prude, just a half-assed band geek -- no one can believe I'd do anything so well defined as lie. I like my new superpower. ~ Sarah Bird
Bird Cages quotes by Sarah Bird
The traveller who aspires to reach the highlands of Tibet from Kashmir cannot be borne along in a carriage or hill-cart. For much of the way, he is limited to a foot pace, and if he has regard to his horse, he walks down all rugged and steep descents, which are many, and dismounts at most bridges. ~ Isabella Bird
Bird Cages quotes by Isabella Bird
- in the end she felt pity for me, for the lost man. And when a girl's heart is moved to pity, that is, of course, most dangerous for her. She's sure to want to "save" him then, to bring him to reason, to resurrect him, to call him to nobler aims, to regenerate him into a new life and new activity. Well, everyone knows what can be dreamt up in that vein. I saw at once that the bird was flying into my net on its own. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Bird Cages quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
She deserved it, the snake. After keeping my little golden bird locked up in her cage for so long. ~ Marissa Meyer
Bird Cages quotes by Marissa Meyer
Since I first picked up the violin, I've been very interested in tone and texture: I would have very visceral reactions to the texture of a snare drum or a pedal steel guitar or a violin. ~ Andrew Bird
Bird Cages quotes by Andrew Bird
I will drop into your chest like a vegetal ambrosia. I will be the grain that regenerates the cruelly plowed furrow. Poetry will be born of our intimate union. A god we shall create together, and we shall soar heavenward like sunbeams, perfumes, butterflies, birds, and all winged things. ~ Charles Baudelaire
Bird Cages quotes by Charles Baudelaire
I was on a mission. I had to learn to comfort myself, to see what others saw in me and believe it. I needed to discover what the hell made me happy other than being in love. Mission impossible.

When did figuring out what makes you happy become work? How had I let myself get to this point, where I had to learn me..? It was embarrassing. In my college psychology class, I had studied theories of adult development and learned that our twenties are for experimenting, exploring different jobs, and discovering what fulfills us. My professor warned against graduate school, asserting, "You're not fully formed yet. You don't know if it's what you really want to do with your life because you haven't tried enough things." Oh, no, not me.." And if you rush into something you're unsure about, you might awake midlife with a crisis on your hands," he had lectured it. Hi. Try waking up a whole lot sooner with a pre-thirty predicament worm dangling from your early bird mouth.

"Well to begin," Phone Therapist responded, "you have to learn to take care of yourself. To nurture and comfort that little girl inside you, to realize you are quite capable of relying on yourself. I want you to try to remember what brought you comfort when you were younger."

Bowls of cereal after school, coated in a pool of orange-blossom honey. Dragging my finger along the edge of a plate of mashed potatoes. I knew I should have thought "tea" or "bath," but I didn't. Did she want me t ~ Stephanie Klein
Bird Cages quotes by Stephanie Klein
I am neither left wing nor right wing. I am middle-of-the-bird. ~ Pat Paulsen
Bird Cages quotes by Pat Paulsen
Jason struck out the first, second, and third batters.
"Do not go talk to him," Bird said.
"No problem."
"Don't even look at him," she said.
"Now, that I can't do. He's so cute. ~ Rachel Hawthorne
Bird Cages quotes by Rachel Hawthorne
The hardest thing of all to see is what is really there. Books about birds show pictures of the peregrine, and the text is full of information. Large and isolated in the gleaming whiteness of the page, the hawk stares back at you, bold, statuesque, brightly coloured. But when you have shut the book, you will never see that bird again. Compared with the close and static image, the reality will seem dull and disappointing. The living bird will never be so large, so shiny-bright. It will be deep in landscape, and always sinking farther back, always at the point of being lost. Pictures are waxworks beside the passionate mobility of the living bird. ~ J.A. Baker
Bird Cages quotes by J.A. Baker
Look, I think if you talk down to a kid or aim specifically at a kid, most kids aren't gonna like it, really, because most kids can feel when you are being patronizing. ~ Brad Bird
Bird Cages quotes by Brad Bird
It was the egg," Slade snapped, "because the mutation began with the misreplication of DNA during fertilization of the embryo and its development. It wasn't like an adult bird just magically became a mutant chicken that started popping out more chickens. I have always thought it was an incredibly stupid question, and whoever came up with it obviously had no background in or understanding of science." "Personally, ~ Sara King
Bird Cages quotes by Sara King
Run Momma bird is coming! ~ Kelly Carter
Bird Cages quotes by Kelly Carter
Feather's sake, you are so fucking annoying, I love you."
Warmth blossomed under Flit's skin, like a spark had been lit inside his heart and it had exploded in his chest, messy and wet and wonderful. "You love me?"
"It's that or indigestion," Talon replied gruffly. He peppered Flit's forehead and cheeks with kisses. ~ Agatha Bird
Bird Cages quotes by Agatha Bird
Nelson, do you remember the spring day when we climbed the barn gable so we could see the seagulls that mysteriously blew into our clay hills
swept from an ocean neither of us had ever seen though it was scarcely a hundred miles away, each bird a genuine miracle high above the green barley? The time we saw that panther in the sycamore tree and Maw said it was the sign of war? Nelson, I am sixty-three years old, the same age that both Maw and Daddy were when they died. I have written this in testimony. With this book, I presume to be done now with such remembrance. But somehow I suspect it will go on, this peering down old wells, this excavation of memory and its shades. ~ Joe Bageant
Bird Cages quotes by Joe Bageant
I'm not Michelangelo but I would like to be that. I'll never be him but I'm trying to strive to do that in my work. ~ Brian Bird
Bird Cages quotes by Brian Bird
We use blue on the handle of the Alessi kettle. Blue is cool, so you're supposed to think that it's not hot. And the bird is red: you're supposed to think to be careful to remove the bird. ~ Michael Graves
Bird Cages quotes by Michael Graves
I think of the security of cages. How violence, cruelty, oppression, become a kind of home, a familiar pattern, a cage, in which we know how to operate and define ourselves ... ~ Eve Ensler
Bird Cages quotes by Eve Ensler
... how sad I felt about the dodo bird, which became extinct due to its friendly tendency to walk up to human strangers and expect the best - but then the other part of my brain, the writerly part I guess, keeps saying, That's irrelevant, That isn't crucial to the story, Delete ~ Kathleen Hale
Bird Cages quotes by Kathleen  Hale
His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg. ~ Hans Christian Andersen
Bird Cages quotes by Hans Christian Andersen
I was conscripted during the war and even made to do coolie labor. The sneakers I now wear when I work in the fields are the ones the Army issued me. That was the first time in my life I had put such things on my feet, but they were surprisingly comfortable, and when I walked around the garden wearing them I felt as if I could understand the light-heartedness of the bird or animal that walks barefoot on the ground. That is the only pleasant memory I have of the war. What a dreary business the war was. ~ Osamu Dazai
Bird Cages quotes by Osamu Dazai
The paradox of vengefulness is that it makes men dependent upon those who have harmed them, believing that their release from pain will come only when their tormentors suffer. ~ Laura Hillenbrand
Bird Cages quotes by Laura Hillenbrand
I am a child of the Milky Way. The night is my mother. I am made of the dust of stars. Every atom in my body was forged in a star. When the universe exploded into being, already the bird longed for the wood and the fish for the pool. When the first galaxies fell into luminous clumps, already matter was struggling toward consciousness. The star clouds of Sagittarius are a burning bush. If there is a voice in Sagittarius, I'd be a fool not to listen. If God's voice in the night is a scrawny cry, then I'll prick up my ears. If night's faint lights fail to knock me off my feet, then I'll sit back on a dark hillside and wait and watch. A hint here and a trait there. Listening and watching. Waiting, always waiting, for the tingle in the spine. ~ Chet Raymo
Bird Cages quotes by Chet Raymo
Under relentless prosecutorial grilling he sputtered that he had earlier deceived investigators "because I was an idiot," and he finally admitted that he had lied about nothing less than a treasonable overture. That lie he could not explain - but Bird and Sherwin attempt to explain it by citing a remark Oppenheimer made five years earlier to a Communist graduate student and friend of his, in which he admitted "his tendency when things get too much" to blurt out "irrational things." How difficult it must have been for an intellectual of his abilities, pride, and accomplishment to make such an admission ordinary men can only imagine. ~ Algis Valiunas
Bird Cages quotes by Algis Valiunas
Nothing is arbitrary, nothing is insulated in beauty. It depends forever on the necessary and the useful. The plumage of the bird, the mimic plumage of the insect, has a reason for its rich colors in the constitution of the animal. Fitness is so inseparable an accompaniment of beauty, that it, has been taken for it. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bird Cages quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I heard a bird so sing, Whose music, to my thinking, pleased the king. ~ William Shakespeare
Bird Cages quotes by William Shakespeare
A journalist should never join the Establishment, no matter how tempting the blandishments. It is our job to hold power to account, not join it. In a world that increasingly obsesses over the gods of power, money and fame, a journalist and a writer must remain detached, like a bird on a rail, watching, noting, probing, commenting but never joining. In short, an outsider. ~ Frederick Forsyth
Bird Cages quotes by Frederick Forsyth
I got my heroes secondhand, from television and movies, to a certain extent. ~ Brad Bird
Bird Cages quotes by Brad Bird
I think when I was pretty young I got really into the tone of my instrument and I remember just playing one note for an hour to just kind of feel the resonance of the violin. ~ Andrew Bird
