Pain makes hens and poets cackle.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I have four Rhode Island Red hens. I get two eggs from them a day. They're feathered dustbins that eat leftover food and weeds, and they're easy to look after - I throw some grain at them in the morning, take the eggs and that's it. I love the sound of clucking.

Deborah Moggach

The hens they all cackle, the roosters all beg, But I will not hatch, I will not hatch. For I hear all the talk of pollution and war As the people all shout and the airplane roar, So I'm staying in here where it's safe and it's warm, And I WILL NOT HATCH!

Shel Silverstein

I spent every summer as a child at my uncle's farm in Illinois so I know all about gathering eggs and how the hens will peck at you.

Ken Berry

People who have nothing to say, speak the loudest.

John Rzeznik

States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.

H. G. Wells

Louis D. Brandeis

Death laid its eggs in the wound

Federico Garcia Lorca

Don't count your eggs until the chicken's laid them.

Bobby Robson

I'm laid-back. Sometimes, I think being laid-back will be my downfall; I'm a little too good at sitting on the sofa and doing nothing. But what can I say? It's who I am, how I am, how I've always been.

Kano

I think of no news to tell you. It is a serene summer day here, all above the snow. The hens steal their nests, and I steal theireggs still, as formerly. This is what I do with the hands. Ah, labor,--it is a divine institution, and conversation with many men and hens.

Henry David Thoreau

To make fluffy scrambled eggs, the best trick is to whisk in a splash of water and nothing else. Cream, milk, and other liquids drag the eggs down!

Alex Guarnaschelli

Eggs Benedict is genius. It's eggs covered in eggs. I mean, come on, that person should be the president.

Wylie Dufresne

Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg cackles as if she laid an asteroid.

Mark Twain

When stalking one’s prey, it is best to take one’s time. Say nothing, and as sure as eggs he will become curious and emerge.

Harper Lee

I remember my grandmother used to always say, 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket.' But when I realized that music was inside of me, I decided I'm putting all my eggs in one basket.

Dianne Reeves
