Pelicans Quotes

• Un pájaro maravilloso es el pelícano,
  Su pico aguanta más que su belican.
  Puede tomar en su pico
  Comida suficiente para una semana;
  Pero que me aspen si veo como el helican.

  Dixon Lanier Merritt

• Y perder la oportunidad de ver fragatas planeando en círculos por encima de la tormenta, o una fila de pelícanos volando de regreso a casa a través del resplandor carmesí de la puesta de sol, o una miríada de charranes centelleando bajo la brillante luz del mediodía mientras revolotean en un laberinto cambiante sobre la playa... la pérdida es como la pérdida de una galería de obras maestras de los artistas de antaño.

• ¿Puede imaginarse algún ejemplo mejor de logro creativo divino que la consumada máquina voladora que es un ave?

• Will you look at us by the river! The whole restless mob of us on spread blankets in the dreamy briny sunshine skylarking and chiacking about for one day, one clear, clean, sweet day in a good world in the midst of our living. Yachts run before an unfelt gust with bagnecked pelicans riding above them, the city their twitching backdrop, all blocks and points of mirror light down to the water's edge.

• We have a slate of four films. From Karen Young - the USA bestselling author - we have Blood Bayou. Again, we're relying on the story to tell itself and the characters tell it and not (relying on) shock value. It's a suspenseful drama...The best way I can describe it is Pelican Brief meets Time to Kill.
