Quote examples
James Belushi
American Actor
When Whitney Houston died, I felt great sadness. My sadness, of course, was about our collective loss - when you listened to this nightingale sing, your body would drop into a chair, your head would tilt up, a small smile would creep across your face, and inside you knew that there was a higher power somewhere: gifted, beautiful, spiritual.
Quote examples
William Morris Hunt
American Artist
Most of us live for the critic, and he lives on us. He doesn't sacrifice himself. He gets so much a line for writing a criticism. If the birds should read the newspapers, they would all take to changing their notes. The parrots would exchange with the nightingales, and what a farce it would be!
Quote examples
Percy Bysshe Shelley
English Poet
A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds.
