Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    I have desired to go
    Where springs not fail,
    To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
    And a few lilies blow.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

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

    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)
