“Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.”
Victor Hugo
“Do let him read the papers. But not while you accusingly tiptoe around the room, or perch much like a silent bird of prey on the edge of your most uncomfortable chair. (He will read them anyway, and he should read them, so let him choose his own good time.) Don't make a big exit. Just go. But kiss him quickly, before you go, otherwise he might think you are angry; he is used to suspecting he is doing something wrong.”
Marlene Dietrich
“The world is grown so bad, that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch.Since every Jack became a gentleman,There's many a gentle person made a Jack.”
William Shakespeare
“The perch swallows the grub-worm, the pickerel swallows the perch, and the fisherman swallows the pickerel; and so all the chinks in the scale of being are filled.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Dottie perched on the edge of the desk, crossed her legs, and looked at me coyly over her highball. I leaned back . . .”
Stetson Kennedy
“A seagull perched on the railing of a ship at the Mothball Fleet probably knows as much about the sturgeon population as the Department of Fish and Game and any of the so-called experts on sturgeon. We've had the best sturgeon fishing here than anytime the last 20 years.”
Keith Fraser
“It is critical that harvest from each basin be separately and accurately measured, given the need to properly manage perch populations.”
