Blackbird/people

Famous quotes containing the words blackbird and/or people:

    Where the blackbird sings the latest,
    Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest,
    Where the nestlings chirp and flee,
    That’s the way for Billy and me.

    I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I’d like to be.
