Scale Insects

Famous quotes containing the words scale and/or insects:

    The Humanity of men and women is inversely proportional to their Numbers. A Crowd is no more human than an Avalanche or a Whirlwind. A rabble of men and women stands lower in the scale of moral and intellectual being than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.

    that pierces the heart all summer
    and sips bitter insects steeped in nectar ...
