“Owls are wise. They are careful and patient. Wisdom precludes boldness. That is why owls make poor heroes.”
“I came only to report the news, to gather information. I didn't come to find out the truth.”
“The owl flies, in the moonlight, over a field where the wounded cry out. Like the owl, I fly in the night over my own misfortune.”
“I'm afraid you'll find out all too soon that life's a melancholy business.”
“The clamorous owl, that nightly hoots and wondersAt out quaint spirits.”
