Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    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)

    but what can be done gull gull when you turn the sun
    on again, a dead fruit
    and all that flies today
    is crooked and vain and has been cut from a book.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)
