*sips my tea*

Auburn, have you forgotten about William Chaloner, Antonio Salieri, and Sigmund Freud?

“Tell me why I feel like we’re in the middle of making an Ikevamp OC-“

We shall make Beethoven real 🧍 /J 

But yes, I would also pay to see Beethoven fist-fight Mozart, and Napoleon for that matter 😩 

And yeah, Beethoven had a lot of respect for Mozart and looked up to him!! He even made variations of Mozart’s works. But again,, I want to see the grumpy German men fight- 

I can just imagine Beethoven swearing out Napoleon/Mozart in German as he goes for the left hook- /hj As someone who lives in Germany, the language itself is nice enough (I could go on a whole language rant, but that might be for another day-) but,, people speak the language so aggressively?? Like a normal conversation in the German language sounds like an argument just from the tone-

Oh, but back to Mozart and Beethoven real quick- I found a short article about the two of them meeting which I found interesting- Here’s a small extract of it if you want to read it! (As your history teacher, I am giving you sources- /j)

“In 1787, when Beethoven was 17 years of age he left Bonn on six months' leave of absence from the court orchestra, and arrived in Vienna a month later. Armed with a letter of introduction from Max Franz, whom Mozart knew, he gained entry into Mozart's home and was ushered into the music room to meet his great idol.

Mozart was in no mood to receive him. His health was plaguing him – his untimely death at the age of 35 was less than five years away – and he did not relish having to stop work to listen to a child prodigy from somewhere hundreds of miles away.

‘Play something,’ he told Beethoven. Beethoven played the opening of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor. ‘Not that,’ said Mozart. ‘Anybody can play that. Play something of your own.’ So Beethoven did.

When the young man had finished, Mozart walked into the adjoining room where his wife Constanze was entertaining friends.

‘Stanzi, Stanzi,’ he said, pointing back into the music room, ‘Watch out for that boy. One day he will give the world something to talk about.’”

[yostresswritinggirl]

Hello!! I'm pretty new here, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to share a scenario I've been thinking about for a while! So, I've been thinking about Poly Cynonari with a Reader who’s a ballet dancer (or tap dancer - I keep fluctuating between the two) and comes from Fontaine - I quite like the image of the two scholars with an artist! From what we know of Fontaine so far (we’re ignoring the leaks of course), it is a country that “reveres true beauty and elegance,” and I like to think that the Reader is someone who is quite flamboyant, dramatic, and lively. They’re pretty much a theatre kid-

The Reader themselves left Fontaine because it is oppressive and quite dangerous at the moment, so they went to Sumeru (why they went to Sumeru specifically, I’m not sure - maybe they chose violence and decided “You know what? I’m tired of all the rain and cloudiness in Fontaine. We’re going to go somewhere where the sun is out 24/7 and I know I’m going to have a heat stroke.”) Also, in the Genshin wiki, it states that Fontaine locals are antsy because they believe that some type of ‘judgement’ is ’soon to come’, which would be another reason why the Reader left (which I find incredibly ironic because judgement is Cyno’s whole schtick-). Also, apparently, the air in Fontaine is toxic, so when the Reader goes to Avidya Forest with Tighnari they admit “I don’t think I’ve ever breathed in air this fresh before!” Tighnari thinks they’re joking until he looks at them in the eye.

Reader, suffering in the heat of Sumeru: If ‘bread’ in French is pain, then I own f*cking bakery.

I think it would be interesting for two characters to be in a relationship with someone who grew up in a very different environment - Sumeru is a region that prides itself on knowledge and scholarly achievements while Fontaine is a region that prides itself on the arts - in a way, they’re sort of the opposite of each other. What are your thoughts on it? I won’t lie, like in one of your Chase The Mirage posts, I can see the Reader getting negative comments from gossipers. But in addition, I love the image of the Reader teaching Cyno and Tighnari how to dance!

But yeah, this is just me putting down my jumbled-up thoughts, I hope you don’t mind! (Sorry this is so long, by the way-) Also, I love your writing so far!! Keep up the awesome work! :D

Jackdaw Anon 🐦

Omg hello new child, welcome welcome! Ah, the classic artist route for the poly cynonari

Most likely they'd meet in the rainforest since the reader wanted a change of pace, scenery, and fresh air. What I actually like to imagine is just their elegance entrancing their lovers, while Tighnari and Cyno are happily imagining the idea of them wearing Sumeru clothes or a Sumeru theme outfit as their dancing attire.

While they may not be well-versed on tailoring clothes, Cyno has good design visualization and a place he had commissioned his headdress, and Tighnari has a lot of beautiful patterns and accessories on his own drip! He is well fashionable and will definitely want to incorporate the forest/nature into their fit

Admittedly, they are reminded of Kaveh at first glance since they do have the same vibe, which makes it easier for them to get along in the first place. Their love for passion and the quality of life from Sumeru's natural beauty may seem childish but the innocence of it is definitely something I can imagine that would make Cyno and Tighnari smile when reminded of their lover

I think their favorite hangout would definitely be Pardis Dhyai, because the two have free access to its grounds, it is wide for dancing, and the view is absolutely gorgeous. Scholars would even watch from a distance when they happen to pass by, at times seeing all three of them dance on a relaxing night. From what we know from the story, not all scholars are haters of the arts and some even enjoy watching it (even attending the shows, from Nilou's SQ) so if it's in a secluded place like Pardis they're safe

I actually wonder if Cyno and Tighnari would entertain the idea of suggesting Zubayr Theatre if they're really that passionate. Collei would probably mention it, so I can also imagine the two boyfriends throwing flowers and petals every time their lover ends their performance, that seems like a thing they'd do <33 They do have to watch out for when their lover starts missing water, waterfalls and rivers in Sumeru aren't really the safest when it's infested with so many crocodiles and fungi,,

I don't mind the length so please don't say sorry, and thank you for the compliment!

🌜 PLEASE READ 🌛

Welcome to the Jackdaw Hotel, where no reservations are needed and every monster here is waiting to smother you with cum love💕 This is an 18 plus role play account for the muses who exist within the fictional hotel. I am excited to share these unhinged characters with you but do try and read my requests before reaching out to me :)

Follows from baadkarmas

HOTEL GUIDELINES

* If you are under 18 please don’t interact with my continent. I will check profiles that follow me and block those that aren’t appropriate. I am a writer in her late 20s (you can call me karma) and I would prefer to interact with other muns also in their 20s.

* Writing wise; I normally write one or two paragraphs in reply, but will happily accomodate to others. I do have experience with asterisk writing, however, I prefer to write paragraphs.

* Please refrain from the use of godmodding, and if you want something in particular in a rp we can organise a plot before hand and / or work through it as it is written.

* I want to use instant messages for ooc discussion and plotting because of that

* While the main focus of the tumblr is for smut, I am happy to do general rp with these characters. I think they’re neat so being able to explore their personas is fun.

* Anons~ please feel free to interact.

* Here is a list of kinks/themes I am really not into: underage, body fluids (piss, scat), pregnant, feet, vore, inflation, a lot of violence, homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny (honestly, if you support any of those phobias leave now thanks)

* Like everyone else, I have a life outside of the internet. I will do my best to reply to threads as often as possible and I apologise if I don’t reply sooner than some would like. There might also be times were I just have zero brain cells and need to take a break from writing. I will always tell you if I have lost interest in the rp, and suggest other plots we can do if I feel like you are a good rp buddy.

* While my muses live in the hotel, they aren’t limited to that and can be used anywhere

* I will add more rules on and off if anything comes up

* Like this post if you’ve read the short little list and check out your new favourite monsters ~

[dragonagecompanionsreact]

Ok, so, if you had to pick animals that represented each dai companion, which ones do you think would be best? I saw that mod Sarah had a zoology interest and was a bit intrigued.

OH BOY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANIMALS??? AND DRAGON AGE??? SIGN ME UP!!! ASKING ME THIS WAS A MISTAKE ANON YOU HAVE OPENED THE INFO DUMP GATES I AM A BIOLOGY MAJOR SPECIALIZING IN ORGANISMAL AND EVOLUTION BIOLOGY

Cassandra: Perhaps a cat (any member of the family Felidae, though specifically for Cassandra, Felis catus, AKA the domestic house cat). Cats come in many personalities, just like humans and many other living creatures (not limited to vertebrates, consider cephalopoda). People, however, often associate them with being graceful and powerful hunters, but with also being somewhat standoffish– which is not a trait that is granted to all cats, as any cat owner would know. Most cats are loving and intelligent, too, which makes me think cats (mostly domestic cats, but if any of you are thinking of a black panther, which is just a melanistic member of any of the Panthera species) then go for it.

Iron Bull: A tough one. The bull (defined as any uncastrated males of the species Bos taurus), is the obvious choice– but with now much Bull likes dragons (while unfortunately not a real creature, because they can’t have a spare set of limbs to make wings-reptiles are part of the supergroup tetrapoda, have only four limbs; to have wings, the front limbs must be wings or or they don’t have any at all. In that regard, Skyrim dragons are the more anatomically correct dragons if they were to exist but WHATEVER this is a fantasy universe) a drake is also a very possible choice for Bull.

Blackwall: A bear would be the obvious choice, perhaps Ursus americanus, the American black bear, which is the most wide-spread of bear species and often the ones that wander into human settlements looking for food.

Sera: While many of you think of the a honey bee, any bee that is a species under the genus Apis, I don’t believe this suits Sera. Perhaps a raven, or another member of the genus Corvus. The reason for this is that members of the genus Corvus (which contains such species as ravens, crows, rooks, and jackdaws) are highly intelligent– and known to be ballsy as fuck. They can be taught human speech, and are known to even play tricks on each other for shits and giggles. They are the pranksters of the bird world, and I feel this would fit Sera excellently. 

Cole: A mimic octopus, Thaumoctopus mimicus. Bear with me on this; while all members of the order Octopoda, which are cephalopods, a subgroup of molluscs, are highly intelligent and capable of fantastic camouflage through the use of iridophores and chromatophores (to put it simply, they’re specialized dermal cells that contain pigment to rapidly change color), a mimic octopus is perhaps the best of all at camouflage. A mimic octopus is capable of changing its skin texture and shape to copy other species to blend in– sometimes called ninjas of the sea. Watch this TED Talk for further information: https://www.ted.com/talks/david_gallo_shows_underwater_astonishments 

ANYWAYS, GETTING OVER HOW RAD I THINK CEPHALOPODS ARE, Cole was a spirit who took the form of the mage Cole, in the White Spire. We have no idea what he looked like before then– as Dorian describes most spirits, they look “bizarre (and) monstrous” in their true forms. If a spirit is capable of such mimicry and such intelligence, I can think of no better animal to represent Cole than a mimic octopus.

Varric: A parrot. Parrots are highly intelligent and known for their speech capabilities, along with being v. pretty. There are MANY different members of the order Psittaciformes, which encompass all parrots. It is a very large clade composed of 393 species to date, but I I think Varric could best be represented by an African Gray Parrot, specifically the Congo African grey parrot, an Old World parrot of the species Psittacus erithacus. These birds are SUPER COOL because they’re among the best at mimicking human speech; one in particular in Japan was returned to his family after repeating the address of his home. They’re also known for hearing things in their surroundings and then repeatedly saying it, much to the ire of the humans they live with.

Dorian: This one is easy; a peacock, which comes in three species, though all are members of the family Phasianidae, which is shared by pheasants, partridges, junglefowl, chickens, Old World quail, and peafowl. These are popular gamebirds, often poor at flying but PRETTY AS FUCK. For Dorian, I think I’ll go with the Indian peafowl, Pavo cristatus– notice the familiar ‘Pav’ in the name, anyone?

Solas: An ostrich A gray wolf, Canis lupus. No further explanation needed.

Vivienne: An orca, Orcinus orca. Orcas are among the most intelligent animals on Earth, known for being beautiful as well as the apex predators of the sea (being cosmopolitan species, like humans, they are found in a variety of environments, across multiple habitats. 

Josephine: A dove, any member of the family Columbidae, which encompasses 310 species. (Fun fact! Members of Columbidae are the only birds that don’t have to lift their necks up to swallow water. All birds except for them have to pull it into the mouths and pull their necks up to swallow). Doves are seen as an international symbol for peace and love, suitable for an ambassador. For her, I think I’ll go with the diamond dove, Geopelia cuneata.

Leliana: Like Sera, I think she would also fit as a raven, but for the sake of being a nerd and introducing another sort of animal, the next runner-up is the ferret, Mustela putorius furo. Ferrets were domesticated for their ability to ferret– that is, to hunt and catch prey, specifically rodents, which often reside in narrow holes and tunnels that humans can’t reach. Being an excellent spy, well, I feel this should explain itself.

Cullen: An African lion, Panthera leo. If anyone has seen his helmet, it should be sufficient explanation, but they are also famed by their beautiful, voluminous manes– just like Cullen!

The moral of this story is: don’t ask me about animals unless you are prepared for the info-dump, because I love the kingdom Animalia so much (I got OVER 100% in a college-level Zoology course, I could regale you for HOURS on Animalia, ranging from Porifera (sea sponges), the basal clade and taxa of Animalia, all the way to Mammalia. I meant to do chores an hour ago but got carried away. Thank you, and enjoy my fangirling.

[the-lunar-warrior]

this is my time to shine

so. i love angst. i breathe angst. and ive been dying to rec some good right-in-the-kokoro fics.

i might come back to this list to add todofam/dabi recs, but for now this will have to do. long post incoming

rated on 1-10 Gave Me Chest Pains Scale (not the quality of the fic! i love them all. just how sad/angsty i personally found them)

we’re gonna start with honarable mentions:

Don’t Blame it on the Kids by silver jackdaw — this is a fic that started only recently, and so far, is pretty angst filled, but im quite a fan of the author, and bc of that i know there will be some kind of fun, vaguely cracky shinanigans later on. and probably izuku being op (in progress) (3/10)

paint me in trust by dinomight   —  this, to be honest, is not very angsty long run, but every single time i see the title my heart clenches bc of the idea that your soulmark can dissappear if they stop loving you (2/10)

don’t praise the all mighty series by heyhamlet — very angsty, but i legit cannot personally read it bc,,,, it’s too much for me. like, it hurts, it’s very good, but the heavily implied csa makes me v ery very uncomfortable so i never finished reading it. at your own risk ig (in progress, i think?) (??/10)

ongoing longfics/series

Analysis lessons, and consequences thereof  by  ElaneTheTired — honestly one of my absolute favs atm. izuku is a great analyst, aizawa notices, and then he keeps noticing things untill aldera and bakugou have some explaining to do. sold me with the what-is-nezu part (you’ll see!) (7/10)

pocket change  by  phialyn  — gods, this fic is…. best way i can describe the feeling it gives me is the exact atmosphere of standing in the middle of some forgotten, dusty road, durin a summer afternoon so hot it feels like your skin is going to melt off, and the time has stopped existing. there are some moments in here, some visuals that i hid somewhere in my chest and im not gonna let go, like the scene with tomura and izuku (“But you’re a fucking kid!” “So are you.”) that just creates this overwhelming, quiet feeling of suffocating oppression (10/10)

Fear of you by Nobody_knows1   —  a kid!Hawks centric fic with Takami The Thief trying parenting. not going great (the parenting, the fic is nice!) (6/10)

Twin Swap series by miniongrin — gotta say, this one is more often funny than sad, but oh boy, does it get sad. fuyumi gets body swapped with her twin. who was alllegedly dead for ~last decade (5/10)

assorted oneshots

remember from here on in  by  aloneintherain   —   okay so, this is not the most angsty on the list, but this…. this also has the vibe to it, you know? aizawa finds out about ofa and the legacy it brings. UA and class 1-A deals with izuku manifesting quirks left and right (4/10)

(in)visible girl by achievingelysium — this one is just. chiefs kiss. hurts. i never expected to have so much feels about hagakure but here we go. short but worth the read (8/10)

refraction  by  achievingelysium —  ah yes. izuku’s selflessness borders on suicidal and people his friends, teachers, notice (4/10)

If Lies Sting Like Knives (Honesty's a Harsh, Bitter Sword) by honeyandsunshine   — an interesting one on izuku’s and bakugou’s pasts from the perspective of sero. two shot. (6/10)

shaky smiles and starry eyes  by  Argentina   — aizawa realises something is up with izuku’s quirk. and so secrets are spilled (4/10)

Float by Gentrychild  —  given this anon was sent to @gentrychild 's blog, im gonna assume you’ve read it, but if not... do. it has that vibe that comes with something that’s not exactly sad, but cathartic instead. like that moment of calm numbness after you cried all the tears you had and there’s nothing left, but to move on (5/10)     

on izuku, quirklessness, and bullying

vii. isolation by  rexcorvidae   —   this one,,, gosh, this one hits hard. written as a whumptober prompt and it shows. pre-UA. the very first line always punches me in the face and proceeds to kick me when im down. again, quiet, chocking feeling of.... well. isolation permeates every word. (9/10)

 Arsonist's Lullaby (Redemption Doesn't Come Easy)   by Half_SubmergedinPurgatory   —  one of my absolute faves, the lines “He knows how to be quiet”  will forever be stuck in my brain now, great use of repetition and parallels (8/10)

mouth shut (eyes down)  by carolinaa — a fic that i easily consider a clasic - a short study in trust, and how izuku doesn’t have much of it in teachers (5/10)

survival instinct by carolinaa a much longer look on izuku’s trust issues (6/10)

the anatomy of anger  by  beeclaws —   short and (bitter)sweet (3/10)

swan-dive  by  beeclaws —   a short dabate between aizawa and izuku, on where heroism ends, and suicidal tendencies began (7/10)

Bitter by AdelineCaffrey — deku gets rightfully bitter over his past. about time (6/10)

Of Bias and Bravery by Mintoki  — honestly, this fic hits me hard every time i read it. izuku has the knowledge, the facts, statistics, memories, to correct his classmates thoughtless but still harmful preconceptions about the quirkless. but he doesn’t. because he has a quirk now. because he doesn’t want to step out of the line. because it’s tiring, being an advocate for your minority, especially when you don’t feel like you belong to it anymore (7/10)

dam failure by   orkestrations  —  not sure what else to say about this one, ive read it just. so. many. freaking. times. (6/10)

Everyone Snaps at Some Point  by  PruneyWitch   —  not gonna lie, my brain just. zoom. turns off in the first half of this fic, where the oc villain is described. but the part in the classroom? good shit. very good. now that i think of it - not that sad but. oh well (2/10)

smoke before fire by achievingelysium  —  aizawa and all might visit aldera to promote UA. some truths come out of the wash (7/10)

those hardest to love need it most  by  DancingInTheStormi   —   i wasn’t sure if i should include this, bc as you can see, this list is quite full of fics in this specific vein, but... this one has perhaps the best handled aizawa-talks-to-bakugo scene, imo. like, there are some lines that just stick with you and this fic does that to me. whenever i think about how i wish canon adressed this issue, this fic is one that comes to mind quite strongly (9/10)

that one oneshot that breaks my heart into pieces every single time 11/10, please read it

Heavy Breathing by Silver_Sterling   —   i am yet again unsure how to describe this fic. mostly bc i know that people with a different taste than i might not like it, nor find it that heartbreaking, but i... for me this is hands down the best oneshot ive read in bnha fandom up to date.

it’s about the slow deterioration leading up to touya’s death, from the perspective of his best friend, most trusted confidant, and a brother - 9 year old natsuo. it really just... extrudes helplessness and misery, the comradery of children raised like soliders and vicims. giving up ever trying to find safety, settling for survival - and realising that one is also too high of a bar (11/10)

can you or your followers rec me the angstiest bnha fic that youve ever read? i am ready for the pain

Fic finders, ASSEMBLE!

I know some angst vampires are still hanging out here! Come and help your brethen!

F. Schumacher • Eagles don’t catch flies. – Desiderius Erasmus • Eagles fly where lesser birds cannot fly, so eagles can do what lesser birds cannot do. – T. D. Jakes • Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines. – Steven Wright • Ensure that no Marine who honorably wore the eagle, globe and anchor is lost to the Marine Corps family. – James L. Jones • Even if death were to fall upon you today like lightning, you must be ready to die without sadness and regret, without any residue of clinging for what is left behind. Remaining in the recognition of the absolute view, you should leave this life like an eagle soaring up into the blue sky. – Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche • Every culture from the Egyptians to the Mayans to the American Indians to the Bedouins created bestiaries that enabled them to express their relationship with nature. Ashes and Snow is a 21st-century bestiary filled with species from around the world. Nature’s orchestra includes not just Homo sapiens but elephants, whales, manatees, eagles, cheetahs, orangutans, and many others.- Gregory Colbert • Every house was festooned with flowers and with lanterns. On the national day, the whole country went wild with joy, But on that very day, I was placed in chains and transferred: The wind remains contrary to the flight of the eagle. – Ho Chi Minh • Eyesight for an eagle is what thought is to a man. – Dejan Stojanovic • Farewell,” they cried, “Wherever you fare till your eyries receive you at the journey’s end!” That is the polite thing to say among eagles. “May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks,” answered Gandalf, who knew the correct reply. – J. R. R. Tolkien • Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat. – Elizabeth Bowen • Festus just detected a large group of eagles behind us—long-range radar, still not in sight.” Piper leaned over the console. “Are you sure they’re Roman?” Leo rolled his eyes. “No, Pipes. It could be a random group of giant eagles flying in perfect formation. Of course they’re Roman! – Rick Riordan • Flutter like a hummingbird, Dive like an eagle, Ain’t no bird that’s my equal. – Twilight – Kathryn Lasky • Fly, on your way, like an eagle / Fly as high as the Sun.- Bruce Dickinson • Fool that I was, upon my eagle’s wings I bore this wren, till I was tired with soaring, and now he mounts above me. – John Dryden • For Nature is love, and finds haunts for true love, Where nothing can hear or intrude; It hides from the eagle and joins with the dove, In beautiful green solitude. – John Clare • Fortune is said to be blind, but her favorites never are. Ambition has the eye of the eagle, prudence that of the lynx; the first looks through the air, the last along the ground.- Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton • From a distance the world looks blue and green, and the snow-capped mountains white. From a distance the ocean meets the stream, and the eagle takes to flight. From a distance, there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. It’s the voice of hope, it’s the voice of peace, it’s the voice of every man. – Bette Midler • From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought. – Victor Hugo • God created us with an overwhelming desire to soar. Our desire to develop and use every ounce of potential He’s placed in us is not egotistical. He designed us to be tremendously productive and “to mount up with wings like eagles,” realistically dreaming of what He can do with our potential. – Carol Kent • God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings. – John Piper • God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings. He is looking for people who will leave father and mother and homeland or anything else that may hold them back from a life of love under the wings of Jesus. – John Piper • Golden eagles don`t mate with bald eagles, deer don`t mate with antelope, gray wolves don`t mate with red wolves. Just look at domesticated animals, at mongrel dogs, and mixed breed horses, and you`ll know the Great Mystery didn`t intend them to be that way. We weakened the species and introduced disease by mixing what should be kept seperate. Among humans, intermarriage weakens the respect people have for themselves and for their traditions. It undermines clarity of spirit and mind. – Russell Means • Golden eagles have an interesting way of mating, where they connect in the air while flying at eighty miles an hour and then they start dropping and they don’t stop dropping until the act is completed. So it’s not uncommon that they both fall all the way to the ground, hit the ground and both of them die. That’s how committed they are to this. I thought to myself, ‘Boy, don’t we feel like wimps for stopping to answer the phone.’ I don’t know about you, but if I’m one of these two birds, you’re getting close to the ground… I would serioulsy consider fakin’ it. – Ellen DeGeneres • Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude. – Arthur Schopenhauer • He worked night and day. He made a coat that would transform him; he would be more than a man; a winged creature, beautiful as light. All the birds brought him feathers. Even the eagle. Even the swan. – Catherine Fisher • Heaven begun is the living proof that makes the heaven to come credible. Christ in you is “the hope of glory.” It is the eagle eye of faith which penetrates the grave, and sees far into the tranquil things of death. He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already. – Frederick William Robertson • High in the air rises the forest of oaks, high over the oaks soar the eagle, high over the eagle sweep the clouds, high over the clouds gleam the stars… high over the stars sweep the angels. – Heinrich Heine • Hippogriff, n. An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin. The griffin was itself a compound creature, half lion and half eagle. The hippogriff was actually, therefore, only one-quarter eagle, which is two dollars and fifty cents in gold. The study of zoology is full of surprises. – Ambrose Bierce • Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed. – Neil Armstrong • How can you say that love is blind? Keener than a young eagle’s is its sight. – Franz Grillparzer • How sublime Upon a time-blanch’d cliff to muse, and, while The eagle glories in a sea of air, To mingle with the scene around! – Survey The sun-warm heaven. – Robert Montgomery • I am also the product of a place called Paint Creek. Doesn’t have a zip code. It’s too small to be called a town along the rolling plains of Texas. We grew dryland cotton and wheat, and when I wasn’t farming or attending Paint Creek Rural School, I was generally over at Troop 48 working on my Eagle Scout award. – Rick Perry • I am delighted, one more time, by the daring of my species and the audacity of our flying machines. There is poetry and music in our technology, a beauty as touching as that of eagle, moss campion, raven or yonder limestone boulder shining under the Arctic sun. – Edward Abbey • I believe in reincarnation. In my last life I was a peasant. Next time around, I’d like to be an eagle. Who hasn’t dreamed they could fly? They’re a protected species, too. – Lee Trevino • I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. And through the air. I am he that walks unseen. I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number. I am he that buries his friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from the water. I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me. I am the friend of bears and the guest of eagles. I am Ringwinner and Luckwearer; and I am Barrel-rider. – J. R. R. Tolkien • I did a filmstrip on pollution in the Davison area as my Eagle Scout project and showed it around town. Businesses who were the polluters were mad at me. – Michael Moore • I didn’t live in the world of disco or the world of the Eagles. – George Thorogood • I do not see a delegation for the four-footed. I see no seat for the eagles. We forget and we consider ourselves superior, but we are after all a mere part of the Creation. And we must continue to understand where we are. And we stand between the mountain and the ant, somewhere and there only, as part of the Creation. – Oren Lyons • I do not see a delegation for the four-footed. I see no seat for the eagles. We forget and we consider ourselves superior. – Oren Lyons • I don’t have to play for the Eagles. – Terrell Owens • I don’t mind doing two or three Eagles songs and playing the drums. I’m not one of those artists who’s going to sit here and deny the past. – Don Henley • I dream of eagles and bring forth sparrows. – Truman Capote • I enjoy my solo career because I get to play smaller places like clubs and theaters, and the interaction with the audience is much higher quality. It also sounds better than a baseball stadium. Everybody has a good seat, and I don’t have to play a specific part like I do in the Eagles. – Joe Walsh • I have never forgotten my days as an Eagle Scout. I didn’t know it at the time, but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government. – Lloyd Bentsen • I have no will, unless it be the will never to decide. I have been so overwhelmed by the many storms that have broken over my head, that I am become passive in the hands of the Almighty, like a sparrow in the talons of an eagle. I live, because it is not ordained for me to die. – Alexandre Dumas • I have often been reminded of the wild duck that came down on migration into a barnyard and liked it so well that he stayed there. In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world.- Vance Havner • I knew Glenn Frey. He called me up in 1977 and told me The Eagles were looking for a bass player, preferably someone who could write and had a high voice. That was me. – Timothy B. Schmit • I know he’d be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly. – John Denver • I know that there are some people who are perpetually negative. I sincerely believe that if you want to fly with the eagles you cannot afford to walk with the turkeys. I will walk away from those people when they start to attack the vision. – Phil Pringle • 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 a powerful bird. It flies alone. It rises up into the sky with authority. It is master of all it surveys. 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 • I think I did enough to make it. I think I made it as hard as possible for them to cut me by showing them what I can do. I think it’s going to come down to numbers. I’m just going to wait, pray and hope it’s God’s will that I’m going to be on the Eagles. My first goal was to make this squad but if not, hopefully another team saw what I did and will want me. – Jeremy Thornburg • I think the Jets came in with a legitimate offer. At that point, I hadn’t had one from the Eagles. I had to think, ‘I’ve really got to work up here [in New York]? Do you really want to deal with that on a weekly basis? – Jon Runyan • I was born by God’s dear grace, in an extraordinary place. Where the stars and stripes, and the eagle fly. – Aaron Tippin • I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America. – Benjamin Franklin • I would like to deny all allegations by Bob Hope that during my last game of golf, I hit an eagle, a birdie, an elk and a moose. – Gerald R. Ford • I’d rather have my teeth drilled than listen to that awful song, ‘Fly, Eagles Fly.’ – Chris Christie • If I associate with chickens, I will learn to scratch at the ground and squabble over crumbs. If I associate with eagles, I will learn to soar to great heights. – Andy Andrews • If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me? – Isak Dinesen • If I were an animal, I would be an eagle. – Jamie Foxx • If I were an animal, I’d probably be a bald eagle, since I’m already bald and I love to fish. But I’d probably be a shaky-ass eagle because I’m afraid of flying. – Steve Harvey • If the Eagles were to get back together, it would have to be for the right reasons. I think it would look awful if it were just for the money. – Glenn Frey • If the Police could do a reunion… One of the biggest jerks I ever met was Sting. If he can do it, then anyone can do it. It’s not that big a deal. And the Eagles! They did it! They severely hated each other. It’s just rock and roll – Steven Adler • If we will only surrender ourselves utterly to the Lord, and will trust Him perfectly, we shall find our souls “mounting up with wings as eagles” to the “heavenly places” in Christ Jesus, where earthly annoyances or sorrows have no power to disturb us. – Hannah Whitall Smith • If we would reach a degree of civilization higher and grander than any yet attained, we should welcome to our ample continent all the nations, kindreds, tongues and peoples, and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come. – Frederick Douglass • If you associate with turkeys, you will never fly with the eagles. – Brian Tracy • If you want to fly with eagles, stop swimming with ducks. – T. Harv Eker • If you want to fly with the eagles you can’t hang out with the crows. – Brock Lesnar • If you want to fly with the eagles, don’t swim with the ducks! – T. Harv Eker • If you want to soar like an eagle in life, you can’t be flocking with the turkeys. – Warren Buffett • I’ll always be a Golden Eagle – Dwyane Wade • I’m a longtime fan of American Eagle, so when they approached me about joining their ‘Live Your Life’ campaign, it already felt like an organic fit. – Shay Mitchell • I’m certainly not thrilled with everything the Eagles did, but there are some things I’m quite proud of. – Don Henley • I’m gonna say it one more time. We are Georgia Southern. Our colors are blue and white. We call ourselves the Bald Eagles. We call our offense the Georgia Power Companyand that’s a terrific name for an offense. Our snap count is ‘rate, hike.’ We practice on the banks of Beautiful Eagle Creek and that’s in Statesboro, Georgia-the gnat capital of America. Our weekends begin on Thursday. The co-eds outnumber the men 3 to 2. They’re all good looking and they’re all rich. And folks, you just can’t beat that and you just can’t beat Georgia Southern. And you ain’t seen nothin yet! – Erk Russell • I’m not going to mortgage the Eagles’ future for Marcus Mariota. – Chip Kelly • In days of yore, the poet’s pen From wing of bird was plunder’d, Perhaps of goose, but now and then, From Jove’s own eagle sunder’d. But now, metallic pens disclose Alone the poet’s numbers; In iron inspiration glows, Or with the poet slumbers. – John Adams • In leadership we teach we teach;Don’t send your ducks to eagle school because it wont help.Ducks finishes eagle school,sees his first rabbit, makes him a friend. – Jim Rohn • Institutions may crumble and governments fall, but it is only that they may renew a better youth, and mount upwards like the eagle. – George Bancroft • It is God that accomplishes all term to hopes, God, who overtakes the flying eagle, outpasses the dolphin in the sea; who bends under his strength the man with thoughts too high. – Pindar • It is not the bigness of anything in this kind that can hinder its motion, if the motive faculty be answerable thereunto. We see a great ship swims as well as a small cork, and an eagle flies in the air as well as a little gnat. ‘Tis likely enough that there may be means invented of journeying to the Moon; and how happy they shall be that are first successful in this attempt. – John Wilkins • It was quite an insignificant looking sheet, but no sooner did the American eagle catch sight of it, than he swooned and fell off his perch.- Jane Swisshelm • It’s a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles. – Karen Armstrong • It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you’re surrounded by turkeys. – Adam Sandler • I’ve always thought the American eagle needed a left wing and a right wing. The right wing would see to it that economic interests had their legitimate concerns addressed. The left wing would see to it that ordinary people were included in the bargain. Both would keep the great bird on course. But with two right wings or two left wings, it’s no longer an eagle and it’s going to crash. – Bill Moyers • I’ve got my old favorites like The Eagles and Bon Jovi.- Niall Horan • Just as eagles soar through the vast expanse of the sky without meeting any obstructions, needing only minimal effort to maintain their flight, so advanced meditators concentrating on emptiness can meditate on emptiness for a long time with little effort. Their minds soar through space-like emptiness, undistracted by any other phenomenon. When we meditate on emptiness we should try to emulate these meditators. – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso • Larry Flynt, running for governor of California. His goal – change our state bird to the spread eagle.- Craig Kilborn • Lately I’ve heard rumors that the eagle may be lame. Just because I’ve been idle, don’t mean that I’m tame. – Waylon Jennings • Leaders are like eagles… they don’t flock. You’ll find them one at a time. – Knute Rockne • Leaders take eagles and teach them to fly in formation. – D. Wayne Calloway • Let them make their war. Whence come night and day? Whence will the eagle become gray? Whence is it that night is dark? Whence is it that the linnet is green? The ebullition of the sea, – How is it not seen? – Taliesin • Life consists in molting our illusions. We form creeds today only to throw them away tomorrow. The eagle molts a feather because he is growing a better one. – Elbert Hubbard • Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly. – Jack White • Like two eagles soar as one upon the river of the wind with the promise of forever, we will take the past and learn how to begin. – Pocahontas • My feet will tread soft as a deer in the forest. My mind will be clear as water from the sacred well. My heart will be strong as a great oak. My spirit will spread an eagle’s wings, and fly forth. – Juliet Marillier • My first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got. – Kerry King • My free drift Halts not particularly, but moves itself In a wide sea of wax; no levelled malice Infects one comma in the course I hold, But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no tract behind. – William Shakespeare • My grandfather would have loved to have met you,” he told her huskily. “He would have called you ‘She Moves Trees Out of His Path.’ ” She looked lost, but his da laughed. He’d known the old man, too. “He called me ‘He Who Must Run into Trees,'” Charles explained, and in a spirit of honesty, a need for his mate to know who he was, he continued, “or sometimes ‘Running Eagle.’ ” ” ‘Running Eagle’?” Anna puzzled it over, frowning at him. “What’s wrong with that?” “Too stupid to fly,” murmured his father with a little smile.- Patricia Briggs • My jaw dropped open. Holy crows…There’s a couple of eagles mixed in there, Luke commented.And a few hawks, Aiden added.I rolled my eyes. Okay. Holy birds of prey! Is that better?Much, Aiden murmured. – J. Lynn • My name ain’t Steve Miller, but I fly like an Eagle. – Coolio • My spirit is too weak–mortality Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep, And each imagin’d pinnacle and steep Of godlike hardship tells me I must die Like a sick Eagle looking at the sky. – John Keats • News is history shot on the wing. The huntsmen from the Fourth Estate seek to bag only the peacock or the eagle of the swifting day.- Gene Fowler • Not half so swift the trembling doves can fly, When the fierce eagle cleaves the liquid sky; Not half so swiftly the fierce eagle moves, When thro’ the clouds he drives the trembling doves. – Alexander Pope • Om rubed his head. This wasn’t god-like thinking. It seemed simpler when you were up here. It was all a game. You forgot that it wasn’t a game down there. People died. Bits got chopped off. We’re like eagles up here, he thought. Sometimes we show tortoise how to fly. Then we let go. – Terry Pratchett • Once when I looked up, I happened to see a sea eagle poised on magesterial wings above the knurled summit of the mountain behind my tent. It was a scene of peerless tranquility, tossed out in Nautre’s devil-may-care way, which says: Just open your eyes, my friend, and I’ll astonish you every minute of your life. – Lawrence Millman • One cannot bring up boys to be eagles and then expect them to be sparrows. – Edith Roosevelt • One hundred sparrow does not make one eagle. – Mehmet Murat Ildan • Percy and Reyna occupied matching praeters’ chairs on the dais, which made Percy self-conscious. It wasn’t easy looking dignified wearing a bedsheet and a purple cape. “The camp is safe,” Octavian continued. ” I’ll be the first to congragulate our heroes for bringing back the legion’s eagle and so much Imperial gold! Truly we have been blessed with good fortune. But why do more? Why tempt fate?” “I’m glad you asked.” Percy stood, taking the question as an opening. Octavian stammered, ” I wasn’t–” “–Part of the quest,” Percy said. “Yes I know. And your’e wise to let me explain, since I was. – Rick Riordan • Religion Caesar never knew Thy posterity shall sway, Where his eagles never flew, None as invincible as they. – William Cowper • September 11, 2001: Citizens of the U.S., besieged by terror’s sting, rose up, weeping glory, as if on eagles’ wings.–from the poem Angel of Remembrance: Candles for September 11, 2001 – Aberjhani • Shall eagles not be eagles? wrens be wrens? If all the world were falcons, what of that? The wonder of the eagle were the less, But he not less the eagle. – Alfred Lord Tennyson • She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. Mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. Alligators slid through it, silent death. It was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot. And it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. Where an eagle could soar like a king. There was no beauty without risk. No life without it. – Nora Roberts • So in the Libyan fable it is told That once an eagle, stricken with a dart, Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft: With our own feathers, not by others’ hands, Are we now smitten.- Aeschylus • So it ends as I guessed it would,’ his thoughts said, even as it fluttered away; and it laughed a little within him ere it fled, almost gay it seemed to be casting off all doubt and care and fear. And even as it winged away into forgetfulness it heard voices, and they seemed to be crying in some forgotten world far above: ‘The eagles are coming! The eagles are coming!’ For one moment more Pippin’s thought hovered. “Bilbo! But no! That came in his tale, long long ago. This is my tale, and it ended now. Good-bye!’ And his thought fled far away and his eyes saw no more. – J. R. R. Tolkien • So long as one’s just dreaming about what to do, one can soar like an eagle and move mountains, it seems, but as soon as one starts doing it one gets worn out and tired. – Ivan Turgenev • So she became impulsive, scared by her inaction into perpetual action. When the Eagle confronted her with the expulsion, maybe she blurted out Marya’s name because it was the first that came to mind, because in that moment she didn’t want to get expelled and she couldn’t think past that moment. She was scared, sure. But more importantly, maybe she’d been scared of being paralyzed by fear again. ~Miles/Pudge on Alaska, pg 120-121 – John Green • So the struck eagle, stretch’d upon the plain, No more through rolling clouds to soar again, View’d his own feather on the fatal dart, And wing’d the shaft that quiver’d in his heart. – Lord Byron • Some relate . . . that the eagle tries the eyes of her young by turning them to the sun; which if they cannot look steadily on, she rejects them as spurious. We may truly try our faith by immediate intuitions of the Sun of Righteousness. Direct faith to act itself, immediately and directly on the incarnation of Christ and His mediation; and if it be not the right kind and race, it will turn its eyes aside to anything else. – John Owen • Somebody asked my friend Bob Seger, Why do you think the Eagles broke up? He said, Hotel California. – Glenn Frey • Somebody has to go polish the stars, They’re looking a little bit dull. Somebody has to go polish the stars, For the eagles and starlings and gulls Have all been complaining they’re tarnished and worn, They say they want new ones we cannot afford. So please get your rags And your polishing jars, Somebody has to go polish the stars. – Shel Silverstein • Sometimes I fly like an eagle but with the wings of a wren – Anne Sexton • Spring One. Spring One. I am Eagle. I am Eagle. I can hear you very well. I feel excellent. My feeling is excellent.- Gherman Titov • Take the road where the eagle flies, man follows where his fortune lies. – Billy Squier • That eagle’s fate and mine are one, Which, on the shaft that made him die, Espied a feather of his own, Wherewith he wont to soar so high.- Edmund Waller • That just shows you their type of class and integrity. They claim to be first class and the best organization. It’s an embarrassment and it shows the lack of class that they really have…..The Eagles would be undefeated right now with Green Bay’s quarterback. We’d probably be in a much better position with him on the team (instead of present Eagles quarterback Donavon McNabb). – Terrell Owens • That kind of tenderness couldn’t be permitted to last. You only got a taste, enough to know what perfection meant, and then you paid for it the rest of your life. Like the guy chained to a rock, who stole fire. The gods made an eagle eat his liver for all eternity. You paid for every second of beauty you managed to steal. – Janet Fitch • The beaver, which has come to represent Canada as the eagle does the United States and the lion Britain, is a flat-tailed, slow-witted, toothy rodent known to bite off it’s own testicles or to stand under its own falling trees.- June Callwood • The bottom half of the page had descended into a doodle of a tiny man giving the middle finger to a giant, angry eagle with razor-sharp talons. Beneath it, the caption: To Mock a Killing Bird. – Seth Grahame-Smith • The brave are born from the brave and good. In steers and in horses is to be found the excellence of their sire; nor do savage eagles produce a peaceful dove. – Horace • The correct answer is the University Titans, the West Valley Eagles, the Central Valley Bears, the East Valley Knights, the Riverside Rams. The fact you don’t even know an answer to the question like [naming all the Spokane Valley High School Mascots] means you don’t even know the district. How can you represent the district if you don’t even know it? – Matt Shea • The ‘Crue’ is not the hardest band to cover. There are no harmonies like the Eagles.- Brian Miller • The day is done, and the darkness Falls from the wings of Night, As a feather is wafted downward From an eagle in his flight. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow • The Democrats talked about putting people first. Well, they put people first unless you happen to be a spotted owl or a giant garter snake or some other endangered species and then that seems to have priority. Obviously, you take the bald eagle and things of that sort, of course you’re going to make sure that they are saved and that they can live and you’re going to take every precaution that you can. But others – we just need a little flexibility. – Dan Quayle • The Eagle does not escape the storm. The Eagle simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It spreads its mighty wings and rises on the winds that bring the storm. – Jack White • The eagle had two natural enemies: storms and serpents. He embraced the storm, waiting on the rock for the right thermal current and then using that to carry him higher. While other birds were taking cover, the eagle was soaring. An eagle would never fight against the storms of life. – Karen Kingsbury • The Eagle has landed. – Neil Armstrong • The eagle has no fear of adversity. We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a conqueror! – Joyce Meyer • The eagle has no liberty; he only has loneliness. – Gilbert K. Chesterton • The eagle may soar; beavers build dams. – Bill Vaughan • The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the crow – William Blake • The eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby, Knowing that with the shadow of his wings He can at pleasure stint their melody: Even so mayest thou the giddy men of Rome. – William – Shakespeare • The eagle suffers little birds to sing.- William Shakespeare • The eagle that soars in the upper air does not worry itself how it is to cross rivers. – Gladys Aylward • The Eagle, he was lord above – William Wordsworth • The Eagles and the critics were not the best of friends. – Don Henley • The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time. – Don Henley • The first thing was to get down to Addie Richardson’s henhouse, and that was a goodish way, four or five miles. She found herself wondering if the Lord was going to send her an eagle to fly her those four miles, or send Elijah in his fiery chariot to give her a lift. Blasphemy,” she told herself complacently. “The Lord provides strength, not taxicabs. – Stephen King • The foolish think the Eagle weak, and easy to bring to heel. The Eagle’s wings are silken, but its claws are made of steel. – Sidney Sheldon • The haft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagle’s own Lures. We often give our enemies the means of our own destruction. – Aesop • The Justice Department ruled that Native American tribes are allowed to grow and sell marijuana on reservations. This decision was hailed as a victory by Native American leader Giggling Eagle. – Conan O’Brien • The last two years with the Eagles were pretty intense times. There was a lot of drinking and we were all getting high a lot. My parents were relieved when I got off the Eagles treadmill. – Glenn Frey • The League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out. – Benito Mussolini • The little and the great are joined in one By God’s great force.

The sun is a smouldering fire, That creeps through the high gray plain, And leaves not a bush of cloud.To blossom with flowers of rain. The sun is a wounded deer, That treads pale grass in the skies, Shaking his golden horns, Flashing his baleful eyes. The sun is an eagle old, There in the windless west. Atop of the spirit-cliffs He builds him a crimson nest. – Vachel Lindsay • The time will soon be here when my grandchild will long for the cry of a loon, the flash of a salmon, the whisper of spruce needles, or the screech of an eagle. But he will not make friends with any of these creatures and when his heart aches with longing, he will curse me. Have I done all to keep the air fresh? Have I cared enough about the water? Have I left the eagle to soar in freedom? Have I done everything I could to earn my grandchild’s fondness?- Chief Dan George • The world is grown so bad, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch. – William Shakespeare • There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness. And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he for ever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than other birds upon the plain, even though they soar. – Herman Melville • There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud. – Carl Sandburg • There is an eagle in me that wants to soar. – Carl Sandburg • There were bars that began to have acoustic musicians play, it was 1970: Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, America, The Eagles, all that kind of stuff was popular.

Lord of the lion-heart and eagle-eye thy steps I follow with my bosom bare, nor heed the storm that howls along the sky. – Tobias Smollett • To an eagle or to an owl or to a rabbit, man must seem a masterful and yet a forlorn animal; he has but two friends. In his almost universal unpopularity he points out, with pride, that these two are the dog and the horse. He believes, with an innocence peculiar to himself, that they are equally proud of this alleged confraternity. He says, ‘Look at my two noble friends — they are dumb, but they are loyal.’ I have for years suspected that they are only tolerant. – Beryl Markham • To object that the facts about human nature set limits on our ability to change the world and ourselves makes about as much sense as the lament that our lack of wings sets limits on our ability to ‘fly’ as far as eagles under our own power. – Noam Chomsky • We are faithful not to the triumphant golden eagle (ironically, also an imperial symbol of power in Rome) but to the slaughtered Lamb. – Shane Claiborne • We are part of the earth and it is part of us.

Election is a sun, the eyes of eagles cannot see it, yet we may find it in the heat of vocation, in the light of illumination, in the beams of good works. – Thomas Adams • We may talk what we please, he cries in his enthusiasm for the oldest of the arts, “of lilies, and lions rampant, and spread eagles, in fields d’or or d’argent; but, if heraldry were guided by reason, a plough in a field arable would be the most noble and ancient arms.” – Abraham Cowley • We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests. – Franklin D. Roosevelt • We need a good strong opposition and I don’t know whether it’s any coincidence that we need Angela Eagle in Labour and we need Theresa May to lead the Conservative party, both of whom of course are women. – Anna Soubry • We’re definitely a hodgepodge of influences. Mine, most heavily, would be Southern rock – the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and stuff like that. Hillary is more from the country side – her mom is Linda Davis, a country singer. Dave, he’s a big fan of the Eagles and like that.- Charles Kelley • What makes a genius? The ability to see. To see what? The butterfly in a caterpillar, the eagle in an egg, the saint in a selfish person, life in death, unity in separation, God in the human and human in God and suffering as the form in which the incomprehensibility of God himself appears. – Brennan Manning • When day begins to break I count my blessings, good and bad, Being wakeful for your sake, Remembering the covenant we’ve always had, What eagle look your face still shows, While up from my heart’s root So great a sweetness flows I shake from head to foot. – P. C. Cast • When the Eagle landed on the moon, I was speechless—overwhelmed, like most of the world. Couldn’t say a word. I think all I said was, ‘Wow! Jeez!’ Not exactly immortal.

Seriously. I wrote it down. I said, ‘When I’m the head coach of the Eagles, I’m going to make sure I get that guy on my team.’ And then guy next to me was like, ‘You’re only the offensive coordinator at New Hampshire.’ I said, ‘Don’t worry about it. Minor details. But it’s going to work.’ – Chip Kelly • Yes, I am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and that one broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. Sad, sad, sad. – Jean Rhys • You are surprised that the world is losing its grip? That the world is grown old? Don’t hold onto the old man, the world; don’t refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: ‘The world is passing away; the world is losing its grip; the world is short of breath. Don’t fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.’ – Saint Augustine • You are the mountain, you are the rock You are the cord and you’re the spark You are the eagle, you are the lark You are the world and you’re remarkable You’re the ocean eating the shore You are the calm inside the storm You’re every emotion, you can endure You are the world and the world is yours.

Clinton • You can’t cage an eagle for long without destroying it. – Patricia Briggs • You can’t criticize Bob Dylan’s singing. You have to respect Billy Joel as a brilliant poet.

This stuff really matters, you know. – Charlie Sheen • You can’t hoot with the owls and then soar with the eagles – Hubert H. Humphrey • You can’t soar like an eagle and crap like a canary. – Ed Sabol • You know, I’m an eagle, flying around in the mountains. – Link Wray • You need eagles wings to get over things that make no sense in this world. – Tom Petty • You ought not to be rude to an eagle, when you are only the size of a hobbit, and are up in hid eyrie at night! – J. R. R. Tolkien • Your choice of people to associate with, both personally and business-wise, is one of the most important choices you make. If you associate with turkeys, you will never fly with the eagles. – Brian Tracy

Just look at domesticated animals, at mongrel dogs, and mixed breed horses, and you`ll know the Great Mystery didn`t intend them to be that way. We weakened the species and introduced disease by mixing what should be kept seperate. Among humans, intermarriage weakens the respect people have for themselves and for their traditions. It undermines clarity of spirit and mind. – Russell Means • Golden eagles have an interesting way of mating, where they connect in the air while flying at eighty miles an hour and then they start dropping and they don’t stop dropping until the act is completed. So it’s not uncommon that they both fall all the way to the ground, hit the ground and both of them die. That’s how committed they are to this. I thought to myself, ‘Boy, don’t we feel like wimps for stopping to answer the phone.’ I don’t know about you, but if I’m one of these two birds, you’re getting close to the ground… I would serioulsy consider fakin’ it. – Ellen DeGeneres • Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude. – Arthur Schopenhauer • He worked night and day.

Even the swan. – Catherine Fisher • Heaven begun is the living proof that makes the heaven to come credible. Christ in you is “the hope of glory.” It is the eagle eye of faith which penetrates the grave, and sees far into the tranquil things of death. He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already. – Frederick William Robertson • High in the air rises the forest of oaks, high over the oaks soar the eagle, high over the eagle sweep the clouds, high over the clouds gleam the stars… high over the stars sweep the angels. – Heinrich Heine • Hippogriff, n. An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin. The griffin was itself a compound creature, half lion and half eagle. The hippogriff was actually, therefore, only one-quarter eagle, which is two dollars and fifty cents in gold. The study of zoology is full of surprises. – Ambrose Bierce • Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed. – Neil Armstrong • How can you say that love is blind? Keener than a young eagle’s is its sight. – Franz Grillparzer • How sublime Upon a time-blanch’d cliff to muse, and, while The eagle glories in a sea of air, To mingle with the scene around! – Survey The sun-warm heaven. – Robert Montgomery • I am also the product of a place called Paint Creek. Doesn’t have a zip code. It’s too small to be called a town along the rolling plains of Texas.

There is poetry and music in our technology, a beauty as touching as that of eagle, moss campion, raven or yonder limestone boulder shining under the Arctic sun. – Edward Abbey • I believe in reincarnation. In my last life I was a peasant. Next time around, I’d like to be an eagle. Who hasn’t dreamed they could fly? They’re a protected species, too. – Lee Trevino • I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. And through the air. I am he that walks unseen. I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number. I am he that buries his friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from the water. I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me. I am the friend of bears and the guest of eagles. I am Ringwinner and Luckwearer; and I am Barrel-rider. – J. R. R. Tolkien • I did a filmstrip on pollution in the Davison area as my Eagle Scout project and showed it around town. Businesses who were the polluters were mad at me. – Michael Moore • I didn’t live in the world of disco or the world of the Eagles. – George Thorogood • I do not see a delegation for the four-footed. I see no seat for the eagles. We forget and we consider ourselves superior, but we are after all a mere part of the Creation. And we must continue to understand where we are. And we stand between the mountain and the ant, somewhere and there only, as part of the Creation. – Oren Lyons • I do not see a delegation for the four-footed. I see no seat for the eagles. We forget and we consider ourselves superior. – Oren Lyons • I don’t have to play for the Eagles. – Terrell Owens • I don’t mind doing two or three Eagles songs and playing the drums.

I didn’t know it at the time, but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government. – Lloyd Bentsen • I have no will, unless it be the will never to decide. I have been so overwhelmed by the many storms that have broken over my head, that I am become passive in the hands of the Almighty, like a sparrow in the talons of an eagle. I live, because it is not ordained for me to die. – Alexandre Dumas • I have often been reminded of the wild duck that came down on migration into a barnyard and liked it so well that he stayed there. In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world.- Vance Havner • I knew Glenn Frey. He called me up in 1977 and told me The Eagles were looking for a bass player, preferably someone who could write and had a high voice. That was me. – Timothy B. Schmit • I know he’d be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly. – John Denver • I know that there are some people who are perpetually negative. I sincerely believe that if you want to fly with the eagles you cannot afford to walk with the turkeys. I will walk away from those people when they start to attack the vision. – Phil Pringle • 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 a powerful bird. It flies alone. It rises up into the sky with authority. It is master of all it surveys. 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 • I think I did enough to make it. I think I made it as hard as possible for them to cut me by showing them what I can do. I think it’s going to come down to numbers. I’m just going to wait, pray and hope it’s God’s will that I’m going to be on the Eagles. My first goal was to make this squad but if not, hopefully another team saw what I did and will want me. – Jeremy Thornburg • I think the Jets came in with a legitimate offer. At that point, I hadn’t had one from the Eagles. I had to think, ‘I’ve really got to work up here [in New York]? Do you really want to deal with that on a weekly basis? – Jon Runyan • I was born by God’s dear grace, in an extraordinary place. Where the stars and stripes, and the eagle fly. – Aaron Tippin • I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America. – Benjamin Franklin • I would like to deny all allegations by Bob Hope that during my last game of golf, I hit an eagle, a birdie, an elk and a moose. – Gerald R. Ford • I’d rather have my teeth drilled than listen to that awful song, ‘Fly, Eagles Fly.’ – Chris Christie • If I associate with chickens, I will learn to scratch at the ground and squabble over crumbs. If I associate with eagles, I will learn to soar to great heights. – Andy Andrews • If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me? – Isak Dinesen • If I were an animal, I would be an eagle. – Jamie Foxx • If I were an animal, I’d probably be a bald eagle, since I’m already bald and I love to fish. But I’d probably be a shaky-ass eagle because I’m afraid of flying. – Steve Harvey • If the Eagles were to get back together, it would have to be for the right reasons. I think it would look awful if it were just for the money. – Glenn Frey • If the Police could do a reunion… One of the biggest jerks I ever met was Sting. If he can do it, then anyone can do it. It’s not that big a deal. And the Eagles! They did it! They severely hated each other. It’s just rock and roll – Steven Adler • If we will only surrender ourselves utterly to the Lord, and will trust Him perfectly, we shall find our souls “mounting up with wings as eagles” to the “heavenly places” in Christ Jesus, where earthly annoyances or sorrows have no power to disturb us. – Hannah Whitall Smith • If we would reach a degree of civilization higher and grander than any yet attained, we should welcome to our ample continent all the nations, kindreds, tongues and peoples, and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come. – Frederick Douglass • If you associate with turkeys, you will never fly with the eagles. – Brian Tracy • If you want to fly with eagles, stop swimming with ducks. – T. Harv Eker • If you want to fly with the eagles you can’t hang out with the crows. – Brock Lesnar • If you want to fly with the eagles, don’t swim with the ducks! – T. Harv Eker • If you want to soar like an eagle in life, you can’t be flocking with the turkeys. – Warren Buffett • I’ll always be a Golden Eagle – Dwyane Wade • I’m a longtime fan of American Eagle, so when they approached me about joining their ‘Live Your Life’ campaign, it already felt like an organic fit. – Shay Mitchell • I’m certainly not thrilled with everything the Eagles did, but there are some things I’m quite proud of. – Don Henley • I’m gonna say it one more time. We are Georgia Southern. Our colors are blue and white. We call ourselves the Bald Eagles. We call our offense the Georgia Power Companyand that’s a terrific name for an offense. Our snap count is ‘rate, hike.’ We practice on the banks of Beautiful Eagle Creek and that’s in Statesboro, Georgia-the gnat capital of America. Our weekends begin on Thursday. The co-eds outnumber the men 3 to 2. They’re all good looking and they’re all rich. And folks, you just can’t beat that and you just can’t beat Georgia Southern. And you ain’t seen nothin yet! – Erk Russell • I’m not going to mortgage the Eagles’ future for Marcus Mariota. – Chip Kelly • In days of yore, the poet’s pen From wing of bird was plunder’d, Perhaps of goose, but now and then, From Jove’s own eagle sunder’d. But now, metallic pens disclose Alone the poet’s numbers; In iron inspiration glows, Or with the poet slumbers. – John Adams • In leadership we teach we teach;Don’t send your ducks to eagle school because it wont help.Ducks finishes eagle school,sees his first rabbit, makes him a friend. – Jim Rohn • Institutions may crumble and governments fall, but it is only that they may renew a better youth, and mount upwards like the eagle. – George Bancroft • It is God that accomplishes all term to hopes, God, who overtakes the flying eagle, outpasses the dolphin in the sea; who bends under his strength the man with thoughts too high. – Pindar • It is not the bigness of anything in this kind that can hinder its motion, if the motive faculty be answerable thereunto. We see a great ship swims as well as a small cork, and an eagle flies in the air as well as a little gnat. ‘Tis likely enough that there may be means invented of journeying to the Moon; and how happy they shall be that are first successful in this attempt. – John Wilkins • It was quite an insignificant looking sheet, but no sooner did the American eagle catch sight of it, than he swooned and fell off his perch.- Jane Swisshelm • It’s a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles. – Karen Armstrong • It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you’re surrounded by turkeys. – Adam Sandler • I’ve always thought the American eagle needed a left wing and a right wing. The right wing would see to it that economic interests had their legitimate concerns addressed. The left wing would see to it that ordinary people were included in the bargain. Both would keep the great bird on course. But with two right wings or two left wings, it’s no longer an eagle and it’s going to crash. – Bill Moyers • I’ve got my old favorites like The Eagles and Bon Jovi.- Niall Horan • Just as eagles soar through the vast expanse of the sky without meeting any obstructions, needing only minimal effort to maintain their flight, so advanced meditators concentrating on emptiness can meditate on emptiness for a long time with little effort. Their minds soar through space-like emptiness, undistracted by any other phenomenon. When we meditate on emptiness we should try to emulate these meditators. – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso • Larry Flynt, running for governor of California. His goal – change our state bird to the spread eagle.- Craig Kilborn • Lately I’ve heard rumors that the eagle may be lame. Just because I’ve been idle, don’t mean that I’m tame. – Waylon Jennings • Leaders are like eagles… they don’t flock. You’ll find them one at a time. – Knute Rockne • Leaders take eagles and teach them to fly in formation. – D. Wayne Calloway • Let them make their war. Whence come night and day? Whence will the eagle become gray? Whence is it that night is dark? Whence is it that the linnet is green? The ebullition of the sea, – How is it not seen? – Taliesin • Life consists in molting our illusions. We form creeds today only to throw them away tomorrow. The eagle molts a feather because he is growing a better one. – Elbert Hubbard • Like the eagle, we (artists) must be able to see clearly. – Jack White • Like two eagles soar as one upon the river of the wind with the promise of forever, we will take the past and learn how to begin. – Pocahontas • My feet will tread soft as a deer in the forest. My mind will be clear as water from the sacred well. My heart will be strong as a great oak. My spirit will spread an eagle’s wings, and fly forth. – Juliet Marillier • My first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got. – Kerry King • My free drift Halts not particularly, but moves itself In a wide sea of wax; no levelled malice Infects one comma in the course I hold, But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no tract behind. – William Shakespeare • My grandfather would have loved to have met you,” he told her huskily. “He would have called you ‘She Moves Trees Out of His Path.’ ” She looked lost, but his da laughed. He’d known the old man, too. “He called me ‘He Who Must Run into Trees,'” Charles explained, and in a spirit of honesty, a need for his mate to know who he was, he continued, “or sometimes ‘Running Eagle.’ ” ” ‘Running Eagle’?” Anna puzzled it over, frowning at him. “What’s wrong with that?” “Too stupid to fly,” murmured his father with a little smile.- Patricia Briggs • My jaw dropped open. Holy crows…There’s a couple of eagles mixed in there, Luke commented.And a few hawks, Aiden added.I rolled my eyes. Okay. Holy birds of prey! Is that better?Much, Aiden murmured. – J. Lynn • My name ain’t Steve Miller, but I fly like an Eagle. – Coolio • My spirit is too weak–mortality Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep, And each imagin’d pinnacle and steep Of godlike hardship tells me I must die Like a sick Eagle looking at the sky. – John Keats • News is history shot on the wing. The huntsmen from the Fourth Estate seek to bag only the peacock or the eagle of the swifting day.- Gene Fowler • Not half so swift the trembling doves can fly, When the fierce eagle cleaves the liquid sky; Not half so swiftly the fierce eagle moves, When thro’ the clouds he drives the trembling doves. – Alexander Pope • Om rubed his head. This wasn’t god-like thinking. It seemed simpler when you were up here. It was all a game. You forgot that it wasn’t a game down there. People died. Bits got chopped off. We’re like eagles up here, he thought. Sometimes we show tortoise how to fly. Then we let go. – Terry Pratchett • Once when I looked up, I happened to see a sea eagle poised on magesterial wings above the knurled summit of the mountain behind my tent. It was a scene of peerless tranquility, tossed out in Nautre’s devil-may-care way, which says: Just open your eyes, my friend, and I’ll astonish you every minute of your life. – Lawrence Millman • One cannot bring up boys to be eagles and then expect them to be sparrows. – Edith Roosevelt • One hundred sparrow does not make one eagle. – Mehmet Murat Ildan • Percy and Reyna occupied matching praeters’ chairs on the dais, which made Percy self-conscious. It wasn’t easy looking dignified wearing a bedsheet and a purple cape. “The camp is safe,” Octavian continued. ” I’ll be the first to congragulate our heroes for bringing back the legion’s eagle and so much Imperial gold! Truly we have been blessed with good fortune. But why do more? Why tempt fate?” “I’m glad you asked.” Percy stood, taking the question as an opening. Octavian stammered, ” I wasn’t–” “–Part of the quest,” Percy said. “Yes I know. And your’e wise to let me explain, since I was. – Rick Riordan • Religion Caesar never knew Thy posterity shall sway, Where his eagles never flew, None as invincible as they. – William Cowper • September 11, 2001: Citizens of the U.S., besieged by terror’s sting, rose up, weeping glory, as if on eagles’ wings.–from the poem Angel of Remembrance: Candles for September 11, 2001 – Aberjhani • Shall eagles not be eagles? wrens be wrens? If all the world were falcons, what of that? The wonder of the eagle were the less, But he not less the eagle. – Alfred Lord Tennyson • She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. Mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. Alligators slid through it, silent death. It was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot. And it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. Where an eagle could soar like a king. There was no beauty without risk. No life without it. – Nora Roberts • So in the Libyan fable it is told That once an eagle, stricken with a dart, Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft: With our own feathers, not by others’ hands, Are we now smitten.- Aeschylus • So it ends as I guessed it would,’ his thoughts said, even as it fluttered away; and it laughed a little within him ere it fled, almost gay it seemed to be casting off all doubt and care and fear. And even as it winged away into forgetfulness it heard voices, and they seemed to be crying in some forgotten world far above: ‘The eagles are coming! The eagles are coming!’ For one moment more Pippin’s thought hovered. “Bilbo! But no! That came in his tale, long long ago. This is my tale, and it ended now. Good-bye!’ And his thought fled far away and his eyes saw no more. – J. R. R. Tolkien • So long as one’s just dreaming about what to do, one can soar like an eagle and move mountains, it seems, but as soon as one starts doing it one gets worn out and tired. – Ivan Turgenev • So she became impulsive, scared by her inaction into perpetual action. When the Eagle confronted her with the expulsion, maybe she blurted out Marya’s name because it was the first that came to mind, because in that moment she didn’t want to get expelled and she couldn’t think past that moment. She was scared, sure. But more importantly, maybe she’d been scared of being paralyzed by fear again. ~Miles/Pudge on Alaska, pg 120-121 – John Green • So the struck eagle, stretch’d upon the plain, No more through rolling clouds to soar again, View’d his own feather on the fatal dart, And wing’d the shaft that quiver’d in his heart. – Lord Byron • Some relate . . . that the eagle tries the eyes of her young by turning them to the sun; which if they cannot look steadily on, she rejects them as spurious. We may truly try our faith by immediate intuitions of the Sun of Righteousness. Direct faith to act itself, immediately and directly on the incarnation of Christ and His mediation; and if it be not the right kind and race, it will turn its eyes aside to anything else. – John Owen • Somebody asked my friend Bob Seger, Why do you think the Eagles broke up? He said, Hotel California. – Glenn Frey • Somebody has to go polish the stars, They’re looking a little bit dull. Somebody has to go polish the stars, For the eagles and starlings and gulls Have all been complaining they’re tarnished and worn, They say they want new ones we cannot afford. So please get your rags And your polishing jars, Somebody has to go polish the stars. – Shel Silverstein • Sometimes I fly like an eagle but with the wings of a wren – Anne Sexton • Spring One. Spring One. I am Eagle. I am Eagle. I can hear you very well. I feel excellent. My feeling is excellent.- Gherman Titov • Take the road where the eagle flies, man follows where his fortune lies. – Billy Squier • That eagle’s fate and mine are one, Which, on the shaft that made him die, Espied a feather of his own, Wherewith he wont to soar so high.- Edmund Waller • That just shows you their type of class and integrity. They claim to be first class and the best organization. It’s an embarrassment and it shows the lack of class that they really have…..The Eagles would be undefeated right now with Green Bay’s quarterback. We’d probably be in a much better position with him on the team (instead of present Eagles quarterback Donavon McNabb). – Terrell Owens • That kind of tenderness couldn’t be permitted to last. You only got a taste, enough to know what perfection meant, and then you paid for it the rest of your life. Like the guy chained to a rock, who stole fire. The gods made an eagle eat his liver for all eternity. You paid for every second of beauty you managed to steal. – Janet Fitch • The beaver, which has come to represent Canada as the eagle does the United States and the lion Britain, is a flat-tailed, slow-witted, toothy rodent known to bite off it’s own testicles or to stand under its own falling trees.- June Callwood • The bottom half of the page had descended into a doodle of a tiny man giving the middle finger to a giant, angry eagle with razor-sharp talons. Beneath it, the caption: To Mock a Killing Bird. – Seth Grahame-Smith • The brave are born from the brave and good. In steers and in horses is to be found the excellence of their sire; nor do savage eagles produce a peaceful dove. – Horace • The correct answer is the University Titans, the West Valley Eagles, the Central Valley Bears, the East Valley Knights, the Riverside Rams. The fact you don’t even know an answer to the question like [naming all the Spokane Valley High School Mascots] means you don’t even know the district. How can you represent the district if you don’t even know it? – Matt Shea • The ‘Crue’ is not the hardest band to cover. There are no harmonies like the Eagles.- Brian Miller • The day is done, and the darkness Falls from the wings of Night, As a feather is wafted downward From an eagle in his flight. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow • The Democrats talked about putting people first. Well, they put people first unless you happen to be a spotted owl or a giant garter snake or some other endangered species and then that seems to have priority. Obviously, you take the bald eagle and things of that sort, of course you’re going to make sure that they are saved and that they can live and you’re going to take every precaution that you can. But others – we just need a little flexibility. – Dan Quayle • The Eagle does not escape the storm. The Eagle simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It spreads its mighty wings and rises on the winds that bring the storm. – Jack White • The eagle had two natural enemies: storms and serpents. He embraced the storm, waiting on the rock for the right thermal current and then using that to carry him higher. While other birds were taking cover, the eagle was soaring. An eagle would never fight against the storms of life. – Karen Kingsbury • The Eagle has landed. – Neil Armstrong • The eagle has no fear of adversity. We need to be like the eagle and have a fearless spirit of a conqueror! – Joyce Meyer • The eagle has no liberty; he only has loneliness. – Gilbert K. Chesterton • The eagle may soar; beavers build dams. – Bill Vaughan • The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the crow – William Blake • The eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby, Knowing that with the shadow of his wings He can at pleasure stint their melody: Even so mayest thou the giddy men of Rome. – William – Shakespeare • The eagle suffers little birds to sing.- William Shakespeare • The eagle that soars in the upper air does not worry itself how it is to cross rivers. – Gladys Aylward • The Eagle, he was lord above – William Wordsworth • The Eagles and the critics were not the best of friends. – Don Henley • The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time. – Don Henley • The first thing was to get down to Addie Richardson’s henhouse, and that was a goodish way, four or five miles. She found herself wondering if the Lord was going to send her an eagle to fly her those four miles, or send Elijah in his fiery chariot to give her a lift. Blasphemy,” she told herself complacently. “The Lord provides strength, not taxicabs. – Stephen King • The foolish think the Eagle weak, and easy to bring to heel. The Eagle’s wings are silken, but its claws are made of steel. – Sidney Sheldon • The haft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagle’s own Lures. We often give our enemies the means of our own destruction. – Aesop • The Justice Department ruled that Native American tribes are allowed to grow and sell marijuana on reservations. This decision was hailed as a victory by Native American leader Giggling Eagle. – Conan O’Brien • The last two years with the Eagles were pretty intense times. There was a lot of drinking and we were all getting high a lot. My parents were relieved when I got off the Eagles treadmill. – Glenn Frey • The League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out. – Benito Mussolini • The little and the great are joined in one By God’s great force. The wondrous golden sun Is linked unto the glow-worm’s tiny spark; The eagle soars to heaven in his flight; And in those realms of space, all bathed in light, Soar none except the eagle and the lark. – Emma Lazarus • The mother eagle teachers her little ones to fly by making their nest so uncomfortable that they are forced to leave it and commit themselves to the unknown world of air outside. An just so does our God to us. – Hannah Whitall Smith • The plainest print cannot be read through a gold eagle. – Abraham Lincoln • The sharp knife of dawn glitters in my hand but how bare is everything-tall tall tree infinite air, the unrelaxing tension of the world and only hope, hope only, the kind eagle soars and wheels in flight. – Martin Carter • The sun is a huntress young, The sun is a red, red joy, The sun is an Indian girl, Of the tribe of the Illinois. The sun is a smouldering fire, That creeps through the high gray plain, And leaves not a bush of cloud.To blossom with flowers of rain. The sun is a wounded deer, That treads pale grass in the skies, Shaking his golden horns, Flashing his baleful eyes. The sun is an eagle old, There in the windless west. Atop of the spirit-cliffs He builds him a crimson nest. – Vachel Lindsay • The time will soon be here when my grandchild will long for the cry of a loon, the flash of a salmon, the whisper of spruce needles, or the screech of an eagle. But he will not make friends with any of these creatures and when his heart aches with longing, he will curse me. Have I done all to keep the air fresh? Have I cared enough about the water? Have I left the eagle to soar in freedom? Have I done everything I could to earn my grandchild’s fondness?- Chief Dan George • The world is grown so bad, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch. – William Shakespeare • There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness. And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he for ever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than other birds upon the plain, even though they soar. – Herman Melville • There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud. – Carl Sandburg • There is an eagle in me that wants to soar. – Carl Sandburg • There were bars that began to have acoustic musicians play, it was 1970: Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, America, The Eagles, all that kind of stuff was popular. It was very easy for me to just kind of move in and be noticed. – Shawn Colvin • They say, ‘The coward dies many times’; so does the beloved. Didn’t the eagle find a fresh liver to tear in Prometheus every time it dined? – C. S. Lewis • Thought paceth like a hoary sage, but imagination hath wings as an eagle. – Martin Farquhar Tupper • Thy spirit, Independence, let me share! Lord of the lion-heart and eagle-eye thy steps I follow with my bosom bare, nor heed the storm that howls along the sky. – Tobias Smollett • To an eagle or to an owl or to a rabbit, man must seem a masterful and yet a forlorn animal; he has but two friends. In his almost universal unpopularity he points out, with pride, that these two are the dog and the horse. He believes, with an innocence peculiar to himself, that they are equally proud of this alleged confraternity. He says, ‘Look at my two noble friends — they are dumb, but they are loyal.’ I have for years suspected that they are only tolerant. – Beryl Markham • To object that the facts about human nature set limits on our ability to change the world and ourselves makes about as much sense as the lament that our lack of wings sets limits on our ability to ‘fly’ as far as eagles under our own power. – Noam Chomsky • We are faithful not to the triumphant golden eagle (ironically, also an imperial symbol of power in Rome) but to the slaughtered Lamb. – Shane Claiborne • We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumes flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great eagle: these are our brothers. All things are connected like the blood which unites one’s family. – Chief Seattle • We gotta be free – The eagle and me. see Amelia Jenks Bloomer, Emancipation of Women – Yip Harburg • We know there is a sun in heaven, yet we cannot see what matter it is made of, but perceive it only by the beams, light and heat. Election is a sun, the eyes of eagles cannot see it, yet we may find it in the heat of vocation, in the light of illumination, in the beams of good works. – Thomas Adams • We may talk what we please, he cries in his enthusiasm for the oldest of the arts, “of lilies, and lions rampant, and spread eagles, in fields d’or or d’argent; but, if heraldry were guided by reason, a plough in a field arable would be the most noble and ancient arms.” – Abraham Cowley • We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests. – Franklin D. Roosevelt • We need a good strong opposition and I don’t know whether it’s any coincidence that we need Angela Eagle in Labour and we need Theresa May to lead the Conservative party, both of whom of course are women. – Anna Soubry • We’re definitely a hodgepodge of influences. Mine, most heavily, would be Southern rock – the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and stuff like that. Hillary is more from the country side – her mom is Linda Davis, a country singer. Dave, he’s a big fan of the Eagles and like that.- Charles Kelley • What makes a genius? The ability to see. To see what? The butterfly in a caterpillar, the eagle in an egg, the saint in a selfish person, life in death, unity in separation, God in the human and human in God and suffering as the form in which the incomprehensibility of God himself appears. – Brennan Manning • When day begins to break I count my blessings, good and bad, Being wakeful for your sake, Remembering the covenant we’ve always had, What eagle look your face still shows, While up from my heart’s root So great a sweetness flows I shake from head to foot. – P. C. Cast • When the Eagle landed on the moon, I was speechless—overwhelmed, like most of the world. Couldn’t say a word. I think all I said was, ‘Wow! Jeez!’ Not exactly immortal. Well, I was nothing if not human. – Walter Cronkite • When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber. – Winston Churchill • Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him – Kenneth Wapnick • Why fly like a hen when you can soar like an eagle? – Pio of Pietrelcina • Wine transforms moles into eagles. – Charles Baudelaire • Without a reunion, the Eagles are forever young, like James Dean. – Glenn Frey • Yeah, I had it all mapped out actually. Seriously. I wrote it down. I said, ‘When I’m the head coach of the Eagles, I’m going to make sure I get that guy on my team.’ And then guy next to me was like, ‘You’re only the offensive coordinator at New Hampshire.’ I said, ‘Don’t worry about it. Minor details. But it’s going to work.’ – Chip Kelly • Yes, I am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and that one broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. Sad, sad, sad. – Jean Rhys • You are surprised that the world is losing its grip? That the world is grown old? Don’t hold onto the old man, the world; don’t refuse to regain your youth in Christ, who says to you: ‘The world is passing away; the world is losing its grip; the world is short of breath. Don’t fear, your youth shall be renewed as an eagle.’ – Saint Augustine • You are the mountain, you are the rock You are the cord and you’re the spark You are the eagle, you are the lark You are the world and you’re remarkable You’re the ocean eating the shore You are the calm inside the storm You’re every emotion, you can endure You are the world and the world is yours. ((The World as I See It)) – Jason Mraz • You can put wings on a pig, but you don’t make it an eagle. – William J. Clinton • You can’t cage an eagle for long without destroying it. – Patricia Briggs • You can’t criticize Bob Dylan’s singing. You have to respect Billy Joel as a brilliant poet. You can’t tell me there’s a better rock band ever than Led Zeppelin. And if you speak during the Eagles’ “Last Resort,” we’re done. I’m just asking for seven minutes. This stuff really matters, you know. – Charlie Sheen • You can’t hoot with the owls and then soar with the eagles – Hubert H. Humphrey • You can’t soar like an eagle and crap like a canary. – Ed Sabol • You know, I’m an eagle, flying around in the mountains. – Link Wray • You need eagles wings to get over things that make no sense in this world. – Tom Petty • You ought not to be rude to an eagle, when you are only the size of a hobbit, and are up in hid eyrie at night! – J. R. R. Tolkien • Your choice of people to associate with, both personally and business-wise, is one of the most important choices you make. If you associate with turkeys, you will never fly with the eagles. – Brian Tracy

AAAAA Congrats on 2.5k followers!! You deserve it!! >w< You’ve put in a lot of effort to get to this point! :D

For the event, may I request a letter from Lilia? The relationship milestone might be a bit specific, but I’m an absolute sucker for fluff,,, The letter is when the day of his and the reader/receiver’s anniversary comes around! For bonus points, maybe he and the reader have been together for a really long time,, 👀 👉👈

(On a side note, I’ve noticed that you seem kinda stressed with things lately, so please keep taking care of yourself in mind!! Take it easy, don’t forget to drink some water, and get lots of sleep 🤗 Take breaks!)

Congrats on the followers again! Keep up the amazing work!

dearest love,

happy anniversary. i wouldn’t miss this date for the world.

i must confess, although you are not my first love, i want you to know that you are one of the closest people to my heart. at this moment, i think of nothing but you, and every moment after this will be spent thinking of you and my dearest family.

i’ve adored you for what seems like such a short time. i know it is far longer to you, however. to have someone pine and yearn for you for years must be so significant to a human, yet so fleeting for a fae...

and yet, that doesn’t make our time together insignificant. if anything, it makes your impact on me so much clearer. you love with all that you are, despite my flaws and shortcomings, and you care for silver and malleus with such diligence. i admire you for that.

fate smiled upon me the night we met. the moon had never looked more beautiful than when you were standing under its glow.

i love you, dearest. forever and ever, long after we both turn to dust, and even then we will find each other.

ASHJDAJSHWAAA THANK YOU FOR LIKING MY STUFF SO MUCH,, 🤧 AND YOU THINK I’M ADMIRABLE?? NO U 🫵 /pos /gen

KJFCGDF YES MUSICAL DUELS SOUND SO COOL BUT KINDA HILARIOUS AT THE SAME TIME,, But this actually brought a small idea to mind!! What if Beethoven and Mozart did a piano duel,, I think it’d be really cool to watch! It’d be two musical geniuses going at each other- Mozart, on one hand, is undoubtedly a music prodigy and genius, and wrote what’s estimated to be over 800 works. However, Beethoven is a master at improvisation, and he’s no slouch, either. And he’s got that perfect pitch 👌  Mozart began composing at five. Beethoven started playing publicly at seven. So I’m just imaging these two going absolutely ham on the keys,, Beethoven would find it an honour to duel against him, ngl

And unfortunately Auburn, I did it again,, I made an impulsive decision. I decided to make Picrews of Beethoven 🧍‍♂️ 

Not that many though!! Although, I did make a small compilation of different Picrews of him that I wanted to share,, 👉 👈  (Also, I'm so sorry, but you're going to have to copy and paste the links if you want to see them,, Since I'm anonymous, links don't work- I'm hoping they work though!!)

https://i.postimg.cc/k4CM9JXn/1906920-n-A3m-ZL2-G.png (I tried making him smile for once, cause he’s always usually frowning,,)

https://i.postimg.cc/SNmrR3xV/186583-RMCYjo-IY.png (Also tried a hand at making a Child Beethoven- he turned out way cuter than I expected!)

https://i.postimg.cc/tTDbjFM5/1855819-e55-Nxnez.png (My most favorite Picrew of Beethoven to be honest,, >v<)

Oh, and I just found out a not-that-fun fact,, So, you know Beethoven’s dad? I found one more reason to beat him up- So, Beethoven was born on December 1770. However, his father made him think that he was actually born in 1772, making Beethoven believe that he was younger than he actually was. When Beethoven’s first public performance happened, he was seven and a half years old, but his father announced to the public he was his “little son of six years.” (Six years old was actually when Mozart debuted for Empress Maria Theresia, and he wanted his son to be recognised as a child prodigy like him.) He wanted to make his son to be more in demand in the music circle. And Beethoven himself thought he was born in 1772 for a good portion of his life, too! He believed his father’s lie, and it was only when he was confronted by official papers by did he discover the truth. 

So, not only was he very abusive, Beethoven’s father lied about his age, both in public and even to his own son,, And he didn’t even tell the truth, either!

(I won’t lie, this could actually be one of the foundations on why Beethoven hates dishonesty and lies,, Because the thing that made his music career catch attention was based on a lie, and he himself believed that lie for a good while,,)

KJFKG Flower patterns hit different,, 😩👌 

I’m like,, half-way done with writing the family dynamic for Siren!Reader, but I was scrolling through random bits of writing I did for Loop!Reader, and I have to say,, some parts are kinda hilarious?? (At least to me, anyway-) I hope you don’t mind me sharing some adfhjfgh-

(Ghost Bride Event)

Epel hurried to Lilia, one of the many frozen students, picked him up, and carried him away like a cardboard cut-out.

“Oh my God,” (Name) wheezed as she unceremoniously dragged Leona’s frozen body to a corner. “Why are you so heavy?”

Leona clicked his tongue. “Watch it, herbivore.”

~~~

“But a student lives here? Is that safe?”

(Name) and Grim looked at each other.

“Well, no, it’s actually a dump. It’s prehistoric, a literal dust heap, nothing but a pile of trash. I feel like the floor could give out beneath me any second and I’d die, and I feel like the plumbing is this close to breaking apart. Grim and the Ramshackle cockroaches are my roommates, now. The Ramroaches, if you will. The roomie-roaches? The Ramroomieroaches. Either way, I’ll be honest, I kind of hate living there.”

Well, that’s what she wished she said, anyway.

Instead, (Name) cocked her head, forming her answer carefully. “It’s definitely seen better days,” she said. “But it’s not like it’s collapsing in on itself as we speak.”

“I suppose... Well, if you think it’s alright, I’ll take your word for it.”

Please don’t.

ALSO!! I love the new theme?! It looks so cool!! ^w^

*KICKS DOWN DOOR* I’M BACK FROM MY TRIP!!

Small life update from me- Corfu was great!! Me and my family mostly relaxed for the most part, but we did go and hang out on the beach :D We also checked the place out as well, and I took some pictures that I hope you don’t me sharing aksjhffg— (Again, all are links because I’m anonymous 😔)

I’m also almost done reading a book for my English class (yes, I’ve been assigned with summer homework 🤧) called Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe,, it’s really good! 👌 The main character, Okonkwo, is super interesting to me,, He’s an interesting protagonist because he’s got a whole case of (very) toxic masculinity going on. He’s very much “violence and toughness are what makes a man, grAAAH-” But it all stems from a deep insecurity of being seen as weak. Not to mention, he also hates his father, who’s the exact opposite of him; he’s gentle and kind, but he’s very lazy, to the point where he doesn’t really take care of his family. And quoting the book itself, “Okonkwo was ruled by one passion — to hate everything that his father Unoka had loved. One of those things was gentleness and another was idleness.” And he also greatly fears resembling his father, which is why he’s always super aggressive. So yeah, there are a LOT of layers going on,,,

In all honesty, Okonkwo’s dynamic with his family kind of made me think about the family dynamic for my Siren!Reader and their own family because,, their family has some things going on too— (I could talk about Siren!Reader’s family and their dynamic if you wanted? 😳 👉👈 It’s interesting to me in my mind, cjhdfgg-) After finishing this book, I need to read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad,,

But that’s all from me!! How’ve you been doing so far? 🤧
