1 " I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance "
― E.E. Cummings
2 " The heart's actionsare neither the sentence nor its reprieve. Salt hay and thistles, above the cold granite. One bird singing back to another because it can't not. "
― Jane Hirshfield , Come, Thief
3 " Dawn will come,’ I told him quietly. ‘The night can be very dark; but I’ll stay by you until the sun rises. These shadows cannot touch you while I am here. Soon we’ll see the first hint of grey in the sky, the color of a pigeon’s coat, then the smallest touch of the sun’s finger, and one bird will be bold enough to wake first and sing of tall trees and open skies and freedom. Then all will brighten and color will wash across the earth and it will be a new day. I will stay with you, until then. "
― Juliet Marillier , Son of the Shadows (Sevenwaters, #2)
4 " I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance. "
