Quotes about squirrel
1. A witch, a vampire, and a pixy walk into a bar, I thought as I led the way into the Squirrel’s End.

2. Life was not to be sitting in hot amorphic leisure in my backyard idly writing or not writing, as the spirit moved me. It was, instead, running madly, in a crowded schedule, in a squirrel cage of busy people. Working, living, dancing, dreaming, talking, kissing- singing, laughing, learning.
- Sylvia Plath
