Blood Feeding Insects

Famous quotes containing the words blood, feeding and/or insects:

    His white head hung out like a carpet bag
    and his crotch turned blue as a blood blister,
    and Godfather death, as it is written,
    put a finger on his back
    for the big blackout,
    the big no.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Man may have his opinion as to the relative importance of feeding his body and nourishing his soul, but he is allowed by Nature to have no opinion whatever as to the need for feeding the body before the soul can think of anything but the body’s hunger.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    There are men from whom nature or some peculiar destiny has removed the cover beneath which we hide our own madness. They are like thin-skinned insects whose visible play of muscles seem to make them deformed, though in fact, everything soon turns to its normal shape again.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
