they can fly where they want when they want. 

They have the kind of mobility many people envy...."

seldom reached by the best of Guns...."

"Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird...?"
~David Attenborough

"I think it is the fact that birds are two-legged, like us, which gives them something of our balance and gesture and makes them nearer to us..."

"The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors 

who looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space

on the infinite highway of the air..."
~Wilbur Wright

“The reason birds can fly and we can't 

is simply because they have perfect faith, 

for to have faith is to have wings....”

“Make a little birdhouse in your soul...”
~Linnell Flansburgh

“I pray to the birds because they remind me 

of what I love rather than what I fear. 

And at the end of my prayers, 

they teach me how to listen....”
