Wing Quotes

We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another. (Luciano De Crescenzo)
Two such as you with such a master speed, cannot be parted nor be swept away, from one another once you are agreed, that life is only life forevermore, together wing to wing and oar to oar. View quote

José Martí
He is outside of everything, and alien everywhere. He is an aesthetic solitary. His beautiful, light imagination is the wing that on the autumn evening just brushes the dusky window. View quote
Henry James
Pippa's Song The year's at the spring The day's at the morn Morning's at seven, The Hill side's dew-pearled The lark's on the wing The snail's on the thorn God's in his heaven- All's right with the world. View quote
Robert Browning
isn't qualified to play a Supreme Court justice on 'The West Wing,' (television show) let alone to be a real one. View quote
Ann Coulter
With all humility, I think, 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.' Infinitely more important than the vain attempt to love one's neighbor as one's self. If you want to hit a bird on the wing, you must have all your will in focus, you must not be thinking about yourself, and equally, you must not be thinking about your neighbor you must be living in your eye on that bird. Every achievement is a bird on the wing. View quote
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
A book is like a man clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun. (John Steinbeck)
Was it for this the wild geese spread The gray wing upon every tide For this that all that blood was shed, For this. Edward Fitzgerald died, And Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone, All that delirium of the brave Romantic Ireland's dead and gone, It's with O'Leary in the grave. View quote
William Butler Yeats
Little Fly, Thy summers play My thoughtless hand Has brushed away. Am I not like thee Or art not thou A man like Me For I dance and drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing. View quote
William Blake
He loves to sit and hear me sing, Then, laughing, sports and plays with me Then stretches out my golden wing, And mocks my loss of liberty. View quote
William Blake
Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise. View quote
Ivan Pavlov
The feather, whence the pen Was shaped that traced the lives of these good men, Dropped from an angel's wing. View quote
William Wordsworth
In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. View quote
Robert G. Ingersoll
They're on their way to the foreign-language wing. That's no surprise. The foreign kids are always here, like they need to breathe air scented with their native language a couple times a day or they'll choke to death on too much American. View quote
Laurie Halse Anderson

Paul D. Boyer
Like bones to the human body, the axle to the wheel, the wing to the bird, and the air to the wing, so is liberty the essence of life. Whatever is done without it is imperfect. View quote
José Martí
You've got to believe in yourself Or no one will believe in you Imagination like a bird on the wing Flying free for you to use. (Ozzy Osbourne)
Why can't a Democrat get fired up about protecting the environment and enacting gun control legislation just as right wing republicans get fired up about making sure that children have access to assault weapons and banning 'The catcher in the rye' and 'Harry Potter? View quote
Moby
We shall all live. We pray for life, children, a good harvest and happiness. You will have what is good for you and I will have what is good for me. Let the kite perch and let the egret perch too. If one says no to the other, let his wing break. View quote
Chinua Achebe
After his first training session in heaven, George Best, from his favourite right wing, turned the head of God who was filling in at left-back. I would love him to save me a place in his team - George Best that is, not God. View quote
Eric Cantona
Birds were flying from continent to continent long before we were. They reached the coldest place on Earth, Antarctica, long before we did. They can survive in the hottest of deserts. Some can remain on the wing for years at a time. They can girdle the globe. Now, we have taken over the earth and the sea and the sky, but with skill and care and knowledge, we can ensure that there is still a place on Earth for birds in all their beauty and variety - if we want to... And surely, we should. View quote
