Famous quotes containing the words process and/or birds:

    Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods—moods of the masses and moods of individuals, the latter no less fickle and unreliable than the former—but no opinion.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    Calico Pie,
    The little Birds fly
    Down to the calico tree,
    Their wings were blue,
    And they sang “Tilly-loo!”
    Till away they flew—
    And they never came back to me!
    Edward Lear (1812–1888)
