John Burnside
For a bird, especially for the more musically inventive, song is the defining characteristic, the primary way by which it knows itself and is known by others. To lose its species song is to lose not just its identity but some part of its presence in the world.

Failure comes only when we forget our ideals...A taste for simplicity cannot endure for long...My whole reason for creating a network...One day I saw the sunset forty-four times!...I am still learning...We are victims of evil customs...
