Throwing shadows on our eyes. — Neil Young

I sometimes think we ought to bring a bill before Congress changing our national symbol from the eagle to the buffalo, because we are more like the buffalo than the eagle.

The eagle is an individualist and was selected from among the rest of the birds to be our symbol. But the buffalo was never alone. It always ran in a herd with other buffaloes. And, friends, I call your attention that the buffaloes are gone from the open range, but the eagles are still soaring. — Norman Vincent Peale

This power has, however, neither goal nor intention. It can do only what it does; it is only a set of acting causes, not a particular being.

Proof of an illicit human-and-vampire affair. — Richelle Mead

'They are fools if they let my glory rise or fall on this. — Madeline Miller

I think classical ballet dancers dance on pointe because they're simultaneously touching the earth and reaching up to the skies. — Paulo Coelho
