Quotes About Warble

The voices may propel you to warble along, or to dance, they may inspire you to seduction or insurrection or inspection or merely to watching a little less television.

And that's what you need, what you needed all along.

This is excrement; these, though Ritzema Bos is positive to the contrary, are the generative organs of the male. I've proved it.
~ Virginia Woolf
I have not felt to warble and trill, however sweetly, I have felt to soar in freedom and in the fullness of power, joy, volition.
~ Walt Whitman
As I recall, there was this one: I love it's gentle warble, I love it's gentle flow; I love to wind my tongue up; And I love to let it go.
~ Unknown
