Notable quotes

“The peacock spends the day keeping watch. The holy bird, the peacock, spends the day calling "haya!". A bird red from cornelian, blue from lapis lazuli, white from chalcedony, with all kinds of gold, and leather inlaid with gold -- may the coppersmith fashion the peacock for you thus.”
— Anonymous, Nanshe and the birds (Nanshe C), .
“The very port and gait of a Duck, or Chicken, or peacock show the high idea he has entertain'd of himself; and his contempt of all others. This is the more remarkable, that in the two last species of animals, the pride always attends the beauty, and is discover'd in the male only.”
— David Hume, Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40), Book 2: Of the passions, Part 1, Section 12.
“Too much tail. All that jewelry weighs it down. Like vanity. Can't nobody fly with all that shit. Wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.”
— Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon (1977), on why a peacock can't fly much better than a chicken.
“Why, he stalks up and down like a peacock,—a stride and a stand.”
— William Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida (c. 1602), Act III, scene 3, line 251.
