Owl/behavior

Famous quotes containing the words owl and/or behavior:

    The little owl flew through the night,
    As if the people in the air
    Were frightened and he frightened them,
    By being there....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The purpose of polite behavior is never virtuous. Deceit, surrender, and concealment: these are not virtues. The goal of the mannerly is comfort, per se.
    June Jordan (b. 1939)
