Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    The Tory camp is now in sight,
    And there he cowers within his den;
    He hears our shouts, he dreads the fight,
    He fears, and flies from Marion’s men.
    William Gilmore Simms (1806–1872)

    But chief to heedless flies the window proves
    A constant death; where gloomily retired,
    The villain spider lives, cunning and fierce,
    Mixture abhorred! Amid a mangled heap
    Of carcases in eager watch he sits,
    O’erlooking all his waving snares around.
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

    I don’t know why I ever come in here. The flies get the best of everything.
    Otis Criblecoblis, U.S. screenwriter. W.C. Fields (W.C. Fields)
