Women are one and all a set of vultures.
I hold that in the flight of the soaring birds (the vultures, the eagles, and other birds which fly without flapping) ascension is produced by the skillful use of the force of the wind, and the steering, in any direction, is the result of skillful manoeuvres; so that by a moderate wind a man can, with an aeroplane, un- provided with any motor whatever, rise up into the air and direct himself at will, even against the wind itself.
How do you view God in a desert? There's two types of birds. There's vultures, and there's hummingbirds. One lives off dead carcasses, rotting meat. The other lives off the beautiful, sweet, nectar in a particular flower, on a particular desert plant, in the same desert. They both find what they're looking for. Do you know - take it all the way back into the Old Testament - and the Muslim and you, we actually serve the same God. Allah, to a Muslim; to us, Abba Father, God.
I see a city in the desert lies The vanity of an ancient king But the city lies in broken pieces While the wind howls and the vultures sing
Thoughts, like old vultures, prey upon their heart-strings
A world without huge regions of total wilderness would be a cage; a world without lions and tigers and vultures and snakes and elk and bison would be - will be - a human zoo. A high-tech slum.
Civilization - a heap of rubble scavenged by scrawny English Lit. vultures.
I bet dying vultures have lots of awkward moments with their friends. - Guy Endore
Suffering attracts fixers the way road-kills attract vultures.
Writers are also sort of like vultures, but with fewer ethics.
