A Quote by Shirley Geok-lin Lim

I don't like crows. In the poem "C," crows are predatory, killing other birds and so forth. But in my morning walks, there were always crows, particularly at certain times of the year. And they're very aggressive, very visible and loud. They're not at all likable, but they have to be dealt with. They are part of the picture, the art in the morning. You cannot deny their reality.

The Crows are very handsome and gentlemanly Indians in their personal appearance: and have been always reputed, since the first acquaintance made with them, very civil and friendly.

George Catlin

I'm not sure that Van Gogh got up in the morning and looked at the crows and the bizarre clouds and went damn that's a good painting, you know? No, he considered shooting himself, and one day he did.

Mick Farren

The crows live in the world like you do. They are part of nature.

But I have been watching the crows since childhood. I loved the colour on its face. It can count up to seven – number seven it can count. They have made an observation. They are very clever birds.

R. K. Laxman

When I did the zero draft for Six of Crows,' it was a very organic process.

Leigh Bardugo

Maybe all crows were just creepy.

Kami Garcia

In the poem "C," the crows are associated with cancer, because I had suffered a cancer scare.

Game-keepers on grouse moors control common predators such as foxes and crows and this gives wading birds a much greater chance of breeding successfully.

Nicholas Soames

Crows are not always available to give warning.

Carlos Castaneda

Crows appear in many of my new unpublished poems. In these walks, they take on a symbolic life apart from their irritating, undeniable, interruptive presence. I figure them differently.
