Famous quotes containing the words clay and/or pigeon:

    “Was it for this the clay grew tall?
    MO what made fatuous sunbeams toil
    To break earth’s sleep at all?”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “Suppose that humans happen to be so constructed that they desire the opportunity for freely undertaken productive work. Suppose that they want to be free from the meddling of technocrats and commissars, bankers and tycoons, mad bombers who engage in psychological tests of will with peasants defending their homes, behavioral scientists who can’t tell a pigeon from a poet, or anyone else who tries to wish freedom and dignity out of existence or beat them into oblivion.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
