Famous quotes containing the words white and/or bird:

    “A funny thing happened to me on the way to the White House.”
    —Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    “For sounds in winter nights, and often in winter days, I heard the forlorn but melodious note of a hooting owl indefinitely far; such a sound as the frozen earth would yield if struck with a suitable plectrum, the very lingua vernacula of Walden Wood, and quite familiar to me at last, though I never saw the bird while it was making it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
