Angry Birds is one of the fastest-growing online products I’ve seen, growing even faster than Skype, and the company has done a brilliant job of extending it across different platforms and merchandise.
Niklas Zennstrom
Only bake one type of thing at a time. Even when it seems like you’re killing two birds with one stone, baking multiple recipes at the same time in one oven presents a tricky balancing act.
Claire Saffitz
I remember the absolute joy I used to get out of writing. The purity of imagining something and then putting it down on paper – it was such a pleasure. I read whatever I could get my hands on, from ‘Great Expectations’ to ‘The Thorn Birds.’
Liane Moriarty
Maybe we are all prospective migrants. The lines of national borders on maps are artificial constructs, as unnatural to us as they are to birds flying overhead. Our first impulse is to ignore them.
Mohsin Hamid
The respiratory mechanisms of birds are definitely adapted to the function of flight, as evidenced by the fact that birds which do not fly (Apteryx, Penguins) show these adaptations in a greatly reduced form.
August Krogh
I love Cadillacs and name them after birds.
Betty White
What I was trying to convey there was the kind of waste land that was left after the war. It was a bit like one always thinks of war, you know, stark scenery and no birds, no trees, no leaves, nothing living. And just emptiness.
George Martin

Biz Stone
If you see the sunset, does it have to mean something? If you hear the birds singing does it have to have a message?
Robert Wilson
How real can your music be if you wake up in the morning hearing birds and crickets? I never hear birds when I wake up. Just a lot of construction work, the smell of Chinese takeout, children screaming, and everybody knocking a different track from ‘Ready to Die’ as they pass down the street.
The Notorious B.I.G.
Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds, listen to their singing, go hiking, camping and jogging and running, walking along the beach, playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It’s very special to me.
Larry Wilcox
I’m terrified of heights, but I think there’s something really beautiful about birds and soaring, having a bird’s-eye view of the world.

The house I grew up in had large plate-glass windows, which birds frequently crashed into headfirst. My father helped me assemble a bird hospital, consisting of a few shoe boxes, some old rags, and tiny dishes for water and food.
Patti Davis
I actually carried a Panavision Platinum and a G2 when I was seven months pregnant for a film called ‘Little Birds,’ and the whole movie was handheld. And we were shooting in the desert. That’s a 35-millimeter camera. It’s huge, probably at least 50, 55 pounds, and I did all my own operating.
Reed Morano
I have a ranch and when I sit there and see a little lizard and birds, I really love what I see and I’m love with nature.
Udo Kier
No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.
Bob Dylan
If I were queen for a day, every city would have to spend one hour in utter silence: no music in shops and restaurants, no honking of horns, no conversations on mobile phones. Only birds would be allowed to sing.
Ann Widdecombe
The author O. Henry taught me about the value of the unexpected. He once wrote about the noise of flowers and the smell of birds – the birds were chickens and the flowers dried sunflowers rattling against a wall.
Chuck Jones
My parents never had to tell me about the birds and the bees, you know? It was very out in the open.
Corey Stoll
I do love one-upmanship sometimes, like when you see kids breakdancing and who can do the best tricks. It’s common, it’s in our nature as animals, like the birds of paradise who’ve got the best feathers and that sort of stuff. But it’s fun when it’s impulsive and it’s about fun.
Bjork
Sound sounds are terrible in the city, but it’s great to listen and to walk and listen to people talk to each other. There are birds. You hear spring. I like listening to the city.
James Murphy
The purpose of farming is to deprive other species of the land and sequester it for our own use. But by perfecting the art of monoculture, it has become too easy for us to exterminate everything else, leaving no wild plants, no food for insects, and a barren land for birds.
Tristram Stuart
I realized that If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
Charles Lindbergh
In many ways, I regard Sharon and Arafat as birds of a feather.

John Muir
There is a whole generation of romance readers and writers who suffer from what I like to think of as ‘Thorn Birds’ Fever.
Sarah MacLean
At home, I’m daddy and a husband. There’s no Superman’s cape. I’m changing diapers, giving my kids baths, and coloring ‘Angry Birds’ and playing games with them.
Taboo
Novelists do not write as birds sing, by the push of nature. It is part of the job that there should be much routine and some daily stuff on the level of carpentry.
William Golding
I used to live a very social life and never spend much solitary time looking at birds or reading.
Lynda Barry
The radical otherness of birds is integral to their beauty and their value. They are always among us but never of us. Their indifference to us ought to serve as a chastening reminder that we’re not the measure of all things.
Jonathan Franzen
Birds are a miracle because they prove to us there is a finer, simpler state of being which we may strive to attain.
Douglas Coupland
With a few exceptions, birds are not to be trusted; it

With a few exceptions, birds are not to be trusted; it is not normal to have such soft, vulnerable bodies bookended with slashing beaks and razor-sharp claws. It is as unnatural as an armed marshmallow.
Daniel Mallory Ortberg
The older I get, the more I think birds are the best musicians on the planet.
Brian Reitzell
I studied Hitchcock a little bit at University and knew the famous story about the Birds – that he’d tortured Tippi for a day using real birds. I had no idea that it was a five-day onslaught and that it was the tip of an iceberg that carried on through to another film.
Toby Jones
I love puffins. They are small, round gothic birds, and their babies are called pufflings.
Caitlin Moran
All birds are incipient or would-be songsters in the spring. I find corroborative evidence of this even in the crowing of the cock.
John Burroughs
I still derive immense pleasure from remembering how many hod-carrying brickies were encouraged to put on lurex tights and mince up and down the high street, having been assured by know-it-alls like me that a smidgen of blusher really attracted the birds.
David Bowie
The Bible tells us that God will meet all our needs. He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass with the splendor of lilies. How much more, then, will He care for us, who are made in His image? Our only concern is to obey the heavenly Father and leave the consequences to Him.
Charles Stanley
I think people who don’t believe in God are crazy. How can you say there is no God when you hear the birds singing these beautiful songs you didn’t make?
Little Richard
Half of the modern drugs could well be thrown out of the window, except that the birds might eat them.
Martin H. Fischer
I want to make sound effects for biomes. If you’re walking along a river you hear the water, then in the forest you hear birds, but as night comes in, it becomes kind of weird, you can walk through a desert, a swamp, and the sounds merge and change with you.
C418
My mom has this ugly Santa ornament, and one year, I took it off the tree and clipped it to her pillow. We’ve been trading it back and forth ever since – 16 years now. I wore it to the Golden Globes and even put it in her bird feeder. As the birds eat, it’s slowly revealed.
Eric Stonestreet
I feel like ‘Birds in the Trap’ seem united; it’s just metaphor for ones in their box that are stuck and can’t get their creative idea out.
Travis Scott
We all have our preferences – some people go for birds – but for me, there’s just something about the wolf; the design of it is really aesthetically pleasing.
Sarah Hall
Birds and animals probably think without knowing that they think; that is, they have not self-consciousness. Only man seems to be endowed with this faculty; he alone develops disinterested intelligence, intelligence that is not primarily concerned with his own safety and well-being but that looks abroad upon things.
John Burroughs
The stress response is incredibly ancient evolutionarily. Fish, birds and reptiles secrete the same stress hormones we do, yet their metabolism doesn’t get messed up the way it does in people and other primates.
Robert Sapolsky
In Georgia where children work day and night in the cotton mills they have just passed a bill to protect song birds. What about the little children from whom all song is gone?
Mary Harris Jones
I was raised in South Carolina; I wasn’t aware of any art in South Carolina. There was a minor museum in Charleston, which had nothing of interest in it. It showed local artists, paintings of birds.
Jasper Johns
I am not into the unrealistic realm of magic realism where birds talk.
Vikas Swarup
The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who… looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space… on the infinite highway of the air.
Wilbur Wright
We have a fantastic array of birds of prey here in the U.K.
Steve Backshall
The real biographies of poets are like those of birds, almost identical – their data are in the way they sound. A poet’s biography lies in his twists of language, in his meters, rhymes, and metaphors.
Joseph Brodsky
