Famous quotes containing the words brood and/or nest:
“Speech is often barren; but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled egg; and when it takes to cackling will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“This face is a dog’s snout sniffing for garbage,
Snakes nest in that mouth, I hear the sibilant threat.”
