Virus Quotations
Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.
Maya Angelou
Language is a virus from outer space.
William S. Burroughs
Most of the trouble in this world has been caused by folks who can't mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to mind, any more than a smallpox virus has.
William S. Burroughs
I pictured myself as a virus or a cancer cell and tried to sense what it would be like.
Jonas Salk
Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.
Gore Vidal
An inefficient virus kills its host. A clever virus stays with it.
James Lovelock
Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.
Hubert H. Humphrey
With the absence of a flu vaccination last year, I did not take a flu shot; but there is still some immunity that carries over from year to year; but about every 30 years, there is a major change in the genetics of the flu virus.
Michael Burgess
Since most of the transmission is sexual transmission, you have a regional or local response to the virus.
Luc Montagnier

Luc Montagnier
