Flies

Famous quotes containing the word flies:

    People are inexterminable—like flies and bed-bugs. There will always be some that survive in cracks and crevices—that’s us.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    They kill us for their sport.

    Love to chawnk green apples an’ go swimmin’ in the
    lake.—
    Hate to take the castor-ile they give for belly-ache!

    me,
    But jest ‘fore Christmas I’m as good as I kin be!
