Seagull Quotes

• Jonathan Livingston Seagull . . . was no ordinary bird. Most gulls don't bother
  to learn more than the simplest facts of flight how to get from shore to food and back again. For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this
  gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight. More than anything else,
  Jonathan Livingston Seagull loved to fly.
