Sol Luckman
“I particularly enjoy the great synchronized skeins of pelicans that fly above the waves in summer. How, being animals, they know how to write the letter V just so in the sky is anyone’s guess.”
Sol Luckman, Musings from a Small Island: Everything under the Sun

G.K. Chesterton
“He wondered why the pelican was the symbol of charity, except it was that it wanted a good deal of charity to admire a pelican.”
G.K. Chesterton
