Famous quotes containing the words state and/or bird:

    “Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience. A rustling in the leaves drives him away.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
