Famous quotes containing the words adult and/or owl:
“The quickness with which all the “stuff” from childhood can reduce adult siblings to kids again underscores the strong and complex connections between brothers and sisters.... It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled. Our brothers and sisters bring us face to face with our former selves and remind us how intricately bound up we are in each other’s lives.”
—Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
“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)
