Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or walking:
“Love’s the only thing I’ve thought of or read about since I was knee-high. That’s what I always dreamed of, of meeting somebody and falling in love.

Instead I got drunk and hollered at her and called her a harpy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“And when we
come to earth the roofs
are made of tiles,
pigeons
are walking on them....”
