Etymology:
- The exact quote is “A bird may love a fish but where would they build a home together?” and comes from Joseph Stein in Fiddler on the Roof, first published January 1, 1964. The fish would live in the water and the bird in the sky. They would love, but tragically never be together since neither can live in the other's world (home).
