1 " I keep thinking about a tale my nurse used to read to me about a bird whose wings are pinned to the ground. In the end, when he finally frees himself, he flies so high he becomes a star. My nurse said the story was about how we all have something that keeps us down. "
― Shannon Hale , Princess Academy (Princess Academy, #1)
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 " Story is a butterfly whose wings transport us to another world where we receive gifts that change who we are and who we want to be. "
― Harley King
4 " Ambition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme; to be sublimely great or to be nothing. "
