birds quotes by ROBINSON JEFFERS-1462688899

Seagulls... slim yachts of the element.



birds quotes by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE; RC; SD; NEMYL-->-1462685879

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste.



birds quotes by J.G. HOLLAND-1462684657

God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest.



birds quotes by ERIC BERNE-1462675203

The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.



birds quotes by W.H. HUDSON-1462644169

Have you ever observed a humming-bird moving about in an aerial dance among the flowers - a living prismatic gem.... it is a creature of such fairy-like loveliness as to mock all description.



birds quotes by IZAAK WALTON-1462638642

Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art.



birds quotes by HENRY DAVID THOREAU-1462637281

I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.



birds quotes by JOSEPH ADDISON-1462635540

I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.



bicycling quotes by WILLIAM GOLDING-1462632678

Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.



bicycling quotes by DAVID PERRY-1462614171

What do you call a cyclist who doesn't wear a helmet? An organ donor.



bicycling quotes by KARL KRON-1462612246

All creatures who have ever walked have wished that they might fly. With highwheelers a flesh and blood man can hitch wings to his feet.



bicycling quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1462600708

Most bicyclists in New York City obey instinct far more than they obey the traffic laws, which is to say that they run red lights, go the wrong way on one-way streets, violate cross-walks, and terrify innocents, because it just seems easier that way. Cycling in the city, and particularly in midtown, is anarchy without malice.



bicycling quotes by GRANT PETERSEN-1462597949

Think of bicycles as rideable art that can just about save the world.



bicycling quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1462596622

All bicycles weigh fifty pounds. A thirty-pound bicycle needs a twenty-pound lock. A forty-pound bicycle needs a ten-pound lock. A fifty-pound bicycle doesn't need a lock.



bicycling quotes by CHIP BROWN-1462595273

If you ride you know those moments when you have fed yourself into the traffic, felt the hashed-up asphalt rattle in the handlebars, held a lungful of air in a cloud of exhaust. Up ahead there are two parallel buses. With cat's whiskers, you measure the clearance down a doubtful alley. You swing wide, outflank that flower truck. The cross-street yellow light is turning red. You burst off the green like a surfer on a wave of metal. You have a hundred empty yards of Broadway to yourself.



bicycling quotes by JIM MALUSA-1462593971

Things look different from the seat of a bike carrying a sleeping bag with a cold beer tucked inside.



bicycling quotes by JULIE FURTADO-1462561431

The secret to mountain biking is pretty simple. The slower you go the more likely it is you'll crash.



bicycling quotes by H.G. WELLS-1462557909

I came out for exercise, gentle exercise, and to notice the scenery and to botanise. And no sooner do I get on that accursed machine than off I go hammer and tongs; I never look to right or left, never notice a flower, never see a view - get hot, juicy, red - like a grilled chop. Get me on that machine and I have to go. I go scorching along the road, and cursing aloud at myself for doing it.



birth control quotes by BOB RUBIN-1462556054

Condoms aren't completely safe. A friend of mine was wearing one and got hit by a bus.



birds quotes by CHINESE PROVERB-1462554402

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.
