Cage Quotes

There was no way out; not, at least, in this direction. I was like a hamster that had climbed to the top of the ladder in its cage and found there was nowhere to go but down.

Home life is no more natural to us than a cage is natural to a cockatoo Picture Quote #1

The thing I am most aware of is my limits. And this is natural; for I never, or almost never, occupy the middle of my cage; my whole being surges toward the bars Picture Quote #1

The echo of the nest life, the voice of our modest, fairer, holier soul, is audible only in a sorrow darkened bosom, as the nightingales warble when one veils their cage Picture Quote #1

Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top Picture Quote #1

I really liked the snake that breaks out of the cage in the beginning of the movie. I saw it in real life, and it was really cool. Really big and fat. The owls are cool as well, but you can't really pet them Picture Quote #1

There are some people who begin the Zoo at the beginning, called WAYIN, and walk as quickly as they can past every cage until they get to the one called WAYOUT, but the nicest people go straight to the animal they love the most, and stay there Picture Quote #1

I did a twenty foot print and John Cage is involved in that because he was the only person I knew in New York who had a car and who would be willing to do this Picture Quote #1

If I could act like this was my real life, and not some cage where I've been placed, well then, I could tell you the truth like I used to and not be afraid of sounding fake Picture Quote #1

You can cage the songbird, but you can't make her sing. And you can trap the free bird, but you'll have to clip her wings Picture Quote #1

I never use a score when conducting my orchestra... Does a lion tamer enter a cage with a book on how to tame a lion? Picture Quote #1

The wild, cruel beast is not behind the bars of the cage. He is in front of it Picture Quote #1

Much talking is the cause of danger. Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage. Other birds, without speech, fly freely about Picture Quote #1

You have to be a brat in order to carve out your parameters, and you have to be a monster to anyone who gets in your way. But sometimes it’s difficult to know when that’s necessary and when you’re just being a baby, throwing your rattle from the cage Picture Quote #1

Well, one of the first things is to restore the rule of law, to place the government back under the cage of law. Another thing is to stop falling for the myth of democracy Picture Quote #1

Put a bird cage near the window so that the bird can see the sky? It’s much better to look than not to, even if it hurts Picture Quote #1

Politicians wishing to set a better tone should have the discipline to avoid televised cage matches Picture Quote #1

Most people would look at an animal in a cage and instinctively feel that it should be set free... It’s a dangerous world out there, filled with predators... What would you prefer? A comfortable, safe, warm, cosy life in a cage, or an uncertain life of freedom Picture Quote #1

Islam was like a mental cage. At first, when you open the door, the caged bird stays inside: it is frightened. It has internalized its imprisonment. It takes time for bird to escape, even after someone has opened the doors to its cage Picture Quote #1

Fear sucks. Because you never know when it will attack. Sometimes it sneaks up behind you, giggling like your best girlfriend from seventh grade. Then it whacks you on the back of the head, takes you straight to your knees before you realize what hit you. Other times you can see it coming, just a dot on the horizon, but you’re like a canary in a cage. All you can do is hang in there and hope you don’t get motion sickness and puke all over the newspapers Picture Quote #1

That I am your heart’s secret fills me with song. I wish I could sing of you here in my cage. You are my heart’s hidden poem. I reread you, memorize you every moment we’re apart Picture Quote #1

I felt like one who wants to trap and cage a little bird, and after years of waiting and luring and baiting finds that she must do no more than hold out her hand, and the finch lands on her finger and does not fly. You scarcely dare to move. It rests on your hand whole and free, foolishly trusting and infinitely courageous. It will never be more beautiful Picture Quote #1
