Trap Insects

Famous quotes containing the words trap and/or insects:

    “The little lifting helplessness, the queer
    Whimper-whine; whose unridiculous
    Lost softness softly makes a trap for us.
    And makes a curse.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “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)
