Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    The flies swarmed on the putrid vulva, then
    A black tumbling rout would seethe
    Of maggots, thick like a torrent in a glen....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The primacy of the word, basis of the human psyche, that has in our age been used for mind-bending persuasion and brain-washing pulp, disgraced by Goebbels and debased by advertising copy, remains a force for freedom that flies out between all bars.
    Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)

    As flies to wanton boys, are we to th’ gods;
    They kill us for their sport.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
