Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or sparrow:
“The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.”
—Virginia Woolf (18821941)
“Nature herself has not provided the most graceful end for her creatures. What becomes of all these birds that people the air and forest for our solacement? The sparrow seems always chipper, never infirm. We do not see their bodies lie about. Yet there is a tragedy at the end of each one of their lives. They must perish miserably; not one of them is translated. True, not a sparrow falleth to the ground without our Heavenly Fathers knowledge, but they do fall, nevertheless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
