French Proverb
“Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.”
Morgan Freeman
“It [a pun] is a pistol let off at the ear; not a feather to tickle the intellect.”
Charles Lamb
“I am not that feather to shake offMy friend when he must need me.”
William Shakespeare
“Birds of a feather flock together.”
Proverb
