Famous quotes containing the words wax and/or moths:
“Colloquial poetry is to the real art as the barber’s wax dummy is to sculpture.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“So each man, like each plant, has his parasites. A strong, astringent, bilious nature has more truculent enemies than the slugs and moths that fret my leaves. Such a one has curculios, borers, knife-worms; a swindler ate him first, then a client, then a quack, then smooth, plausible gentlemen, bitter and selfish as Moloch.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
