1 " Keep a green tree alive in your heart, and a songbird may come to sing there. "
2 " At such times Daddy, Mummy and Margot leave me cold. I wander from one room to another, downstairs and up again, feeling like a songbird whose wings have been clipped and who is hurling himself in utter darkness against the bars of his cage. " Go outside, laugh, and take a breath of fresh air," a voice cries within me, but I don't even feel a response any more; I go and lie on the divan and sleep, to make the time pass more quickly, and the stillness and terrible fear, because there is no way of killing them. "
3 " You think I’m perfect, but I feel like a songbird trapped in a cage. "
― Christina L. Barr , The Queen
