Famous quotes containing the words biting and/or insects:

    His biting is immortal; those that do die of it do seldom
    or never recover.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
