insects quotes

• There are two modes of criticism. One which crushes to earth without mercy all the humble buds of Phantasy, all the plants that, though green and fruitful, are also a prey to insects or have suffered by drought. It weeds well the garden, and cannot believe the weed in its native soil may be a pretty, graceful plant. There is another mode which enters into the natural history of every thing that breathes and lives, which believes no impulse to be entirely in vain, which scrutinizes circumstances, motive and object before it condemns, and believes there is a beauty in natural form, if its law and purpose be understood. (Margaret Fuller) [mercy/insects/weeds/garden]
• Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit. (Henry David Thoreau) [disease/insects/company/company]
• Nations! What are nations? Tartars! and Huns! and Chinamen! Like insects they swarm. The historian strives in vain to make them memorable. It is for want of a man that there are so many men. It is individuals that populate the world. (Henry David Thoreau) [insects/men]
• “[Friends and crew rush to her assistance, shooing away the pesky insects, as Hatcher heads for safety inside Susan's now very recognizable yellow house. Suddenly realizing the absurdity of it all, she stops, looks back over her shoulder, and breaks out into laughter.] This is a very Susan moment, isn't it? ... I try to claim that I'm not my character, but I really am.” (Teri Hatcher) [insects/moment/character]
