Jeff VanderMeer
“Ghost bird, do you love me?" he whispered once in the dark, before he left for hs expedition training, even though he was the ghost. "Ghost bird, do you need me?" I loved him, but I didn't need him, and I thought that was the way it was supposed to be. A ghost bird might be a hawk in one place, a crow in another, depending on the context. The sparrow that shot up into the blue sky one morning might transform mid-flight into an osprey the next. This was the way of things here. There were no reasons so mighty that they could override the desire to be in accord with the tides and the passage of seasons and the rhythms underlying everything around me.”
Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation

Kamand Kojouri
“Usually, when I dream of flying
I am simply flapping my arms
and somehow I lift off and glide through the sky.
Last night was different.
I missed you so much
and my yearning was so powerful
that I sprouted wings like a phoenix
and soared to reach you.
And now I finally understand:
if you see lovers on a roof, do not worry.
Surely, love has metamorphosed them.”
Kamand Kojouri

Ken Follett
“A lark, caught in a hunter’s net
Sang sweeter then than ever,
As if the falling melody
Might wing and net dissever
At dusk the hunter took his prey,
The lark his freedom never.
All birds and men are sure to die
But songs may live forever.”
Ken Follett, The Pillars of the Earth

Tahereh Mafi

Sophocles
“There was the girl, screaming like an angry bird,
When it finds its nest left empt and little ones gone." - Sentry”

Merrie Haskell
“A falcon. I can see that. I thought you said nothing lived here?â€�
Sand’s face went blank. “There was nothing alive, except for me, until Merlin. And then you.�
Perrotte bit back her exasperation, and said simply, “Go on.�
He twined his blunt-tipped fingers together, staring down at them. “I, erm. I found the falcon in the mews.� “So, it’s not true that there was nothing alive in the castle?�
“The truth is . . . Well, the truth is the truth, and thus worth telling, but sometimes truths are so complicated that it’s exhausting to get them out in the right order.� He glanced up at her. That sounded like an evasion if ever she’d heard one. She raised an eyebrow.
“The falcon was dead!� Sand blurted out. “Stuffed and mounted, and then also damaged in the sundering. I mended him, and put him on the mantel, so I’d have something to talk to. But a couple days before you—you came upstairs—� He gestured helplessly at the bird, who stopped stripping water from its feathers just long enough to glare at the humans. Perrotte stared. “The bird came to life,� she whispered. “After you put it to rights, this falcon came to life. Just like me.�
“Well . . .”
Merrie Haskell, The Castle Behind Thorns

Avalina Kreska
“It's a rare thing these days, most people don't have time to stop, to allow themselves to be moulded and shaped by the Creation. A feather falls from a bird and starts its journey alone; once it was attached, part of the whole; then it becomes an uncomplaining hobo, drifting with no agenda, changed by its separation-who knows where it ends up or what it becomes?”
Avalina Kreska, The AdderStane

“Every nation needs two wings to fly. Any bird torn at the wings will never soar the skies.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Women who have learned how to always be in touch with their sensuality can't help but attract at the highest vibrational level than those who have not. In fact, that becomes their default setting.”
Lebo Grand

“If you look at the picture of a beautiful bird eating a little fish, you will see two victims there: Fish is already a victim; but the bird is also a victim because to survive, it has to be a killer; it is forced to be a murderer!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

Peter Sís
“¿Conocen la historia del pájaro que se extravió y nadie fué en su busca?
Se convirtió en piedra y lloró.
Lloró pequeñísimos guijarros.”
Peter Sís, The Conference of the Birds

Shweta Tale
“When the moon is at its best and the sun at its worst, you have a hard time finding where's the nest and where's the bird!”
Shweta Tale

“Afraid even to look at the sky
The birds of cage do seldom fly”
Vineet Raj Kapoor

Israelmore Ayivor
“It is as simple as that. Birds fly because they have wings and so when you can’t grow the wings, you can’t be called a bird. Leaders make impacts because they create new ideas and so if you can’t think of any new innovative ideas, you can’t be a leader.”
Israelmore Ayivor, Leaders' Frontpage: Leadership Insights from 21 Martin Luther King Jr. Thoughts

Liz Braswell
“Aurora Rose looked back up at the nightjar. She raised up a graceful hand. There was no reason the carnivorous and mostly shy bird should leave its perch and alight on her finger.
But it did.
'How did she know it was carnivorous?'
It burbled happily and did everything but rub its strange, whiskered beak on her hand like a cat. She stroked the back of its head.”
Liz Braswell, Once Upon a Dream

“Just a grain can bring a bird down from the skies.

Hindi/ Urdu Translation:
Ek dana bhar hi chidiya ko zameeN par la sakta hai.”
Vineet Raj Kapoor

“Women who have learned how to always be in touch with their sensuality can't help but attract at the highest vibrational level than those who have not. In fact, that becomes their default setting. They are a perfect representation of the "early bird catches the fattest worm" adage.”
