Insect Quotations
Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain. Henry David Thoreau A fly may sting a stately horse and make him wince; but one is but an insect, and the other is a horse still. Samuel Johnson A fly, Sir, may sting a stately horse and make him wince; but, one is but an insect, and the other is a horse still. Samuel Johnson Because there is something helpless and weak and innocent - something like an infant - deep inside us all that really suffers in ways we would never permit an insect to suffer. Jack Henry Abbott Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside. Honore De Balzac |
