World Quail

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or quail:

    Suppose you attend to the suggestions which the moon makes for one month, commonly in vain, will it not be very different from anything in literature or religion? But why not study this Sanskrit? What if one moon has come and gone with its world of poetry, its weird teachings, its oracular suggestions,—so divine a creature freighted with hints for me, and I have not used her? One moon gone by unnoticed?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Kansas City is lost; I am here!
    —A. Edward Sullivan. Professor Quail (W.C. Fields)
