Famous quotes containing the words native, americans, crow and/or nest:
“Happy the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground:”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“The Americans are violently oral.... That’s why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all—isn’t respected in the least. Even the American passion for laxatives can be explained as an oral manifestation. They want to get rid of any unpleasantness taken in through the mouth.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Only brooms
Know the devil
Still exists,
That the snow grows whiter
After a crow has flown over it,”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)
