Marcelina loved that miniscule, precise moment when the needle entered her face. It was silver; it was pure. It was the violence that healed, the violation that brought perfection. There was no pain, never any pain, only a sense of the most delicate of penetrations, like a mosquito exquisitely sipping blood, a precision piece of human technology slipping between the gross tissues and cells of her flesh. She could see the needle out of the corner of her eye; in the foreshortened reality of the ultra-close-up it was like the stem of a steel flower. The latex-gloved hand that held the syringe was as vast as the creating hand of God: Marcelina had watched it swim across her field of vision, seeking its spot, so close, so thrillingly, dangerously close to her naked eyeball. And then the gentle stab. Always she closed her eyes as the fingers applied pressure to the plunger. She wanted to feel the poison entering her flesh, imagine it whipping the bloated, slack, lazy cells into panic, the washes of immune response chemicals as they realized they were under toxic attack; the blessed inflammation, the swelling of the wrinkled, lined skin into smoothness, tightness, beauty, youth.

Marcelina Hoffman was well on her way to becoming a Botox junkie.

Such a simple treat; the beauty salon was on the same block as Canal Quatro. Marcelina had pioneered the lunch-hour face lift to such an extent that Lisandra had appropriated it as the premise for an entire series. Whore. ~ Ian McDonald
Mosquito quotes by Ian McDonald
For the first time, we have the genetic sequences of all three of the players in the global malaria debacle: the parasite, the anopheles mosquito and the human. It's a very important milestone. ~ Anthony Fauci
Mosquito quotes by Anthony Fauci
It is the only mosquito-borne virus that routinely crosses the placenta to kill or cripple babies. Scientists ~ Donald G. McNeil
Mosquito quotes by Donald G. McNeil
So many ideas come to you and you want to try them all, but you can't. You're like a mosquito in a nudist colony, you don't know where to start. ~ Reggie Jackson
Mosquito quotes by Reggie Jackson
A mosquito sings in my ear, and I almost feel grateful for the company. I'm even tempted to sing along. It ~ Markus Zusak
Mosquito quotes by Markus Zusak
Anyone who thinks he's too small to make a difference has never been bit by a mosquito ~ Jeannette Walls
Mosquito quotes by Jeannette Walls
If only Africa had more mosquito nets then every year we could save millions of mosquitoes from dying needlessly of aids ~ Jimmy Carr
Mosquito quotes by Jimmy Carr
Gossip is the social mosquito. ~ Myrtle Reed
Mosquito quotes by Myrtle Reed
You do not have to respond to a tiny annoying mosquito with a large hammer. You know what will happen? You will miss and hurt yourself. ~ Mary Ashun
Mosquito quotes by Mary Ashun
Do not use a cannon to kill a mosquito. ~ Confucius
Mosquito quotes by Confucius
Just in front of her lay the Congaree Swamp National Forest. To prove it, a mosquito the size of a kitten landed on her arm and prepared to drill. ~ Sela Carsen
Mosquito quotes by Sela Carsen
The world is so lawful that not even a single mosquito can touch you, as long as you do not interfere. If your interference stops, everything will stop. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Mosquito quotes by Dada Bhagwan
Aubade Ending with the Death of a Mosquito"

- at Apollo Hospital, Dhaka

Let me break
free of these lace-frail
lilac fingers disrobing
the black sky
from the windows of this
room, I sit helpless, waiting,
silent - sister,
because you drew from me
the coil of red twine: loneliness -
spooled inside -
once, I wanted to say one
true thing, as in, I want more
in this life,
or, the sky is hurt, a blue vessel -
we pass through each other,
like weary
sweepers haunting through glass
doors, arcing across gray floors
faint trails
of dust we leave behind - he
touches my hand, waits for me
to clutch back
while mosquitoes rise like smoke
from this cold marble floor,
from altars,
seeking the blood still humming
in our unsaved bodies - he sighs,
I make a fist,
I kill this one leaving raw
kisses raised on our bare necks -
because I woke
alone in the myth of one life, I will
myself into another - how strange,
to witness
nameless, the tangled shape
our blood makes across us,
my open palm. ~ Tarfia Faizullah
Mosquito quotes by Tarfia Faizullah
If people's night fears of sorcery - which negatively influences their decision to use mosquito nets - fail to impress the outsider, the brute everyday reality remains; in a number of rural African villages it is still much too common for very real hyenas to snatch people, especially children, out of their own homes as they lie sleeping at night, because of the lack of a good front door. ~ T.K. Naliaka
Mosquito quotes by T.K. Naliaka
If a mosquito has a soul, it is mostly evil. So I don't have too many qualms about putting a mosquito out of its misery. I'm a little more respectful of ants. ~ Douglas Hofstadter
Mosquito quotes by Douglas Hofstadter
In the water-thickets, the path wound tortuously between umber iron-bogs, albescent quicksands of aluminum and magnesium oxides, and sumps of cuprous blue or permanganate mauve fed by slow, gelid streams and fringed by silver reeds and tall black grasses. The twisted, smooth-barked boles of the trees were yellow-ochre and burnt orange; through their tightly woven foliage filtered a gloomy, tinted light. At their roots grew great clumps of multifaceted translucent crystal like alien fungi.

Charcoal grey frogs with viridescent eyes croaked as the column floundered between the pools. Beneath the greasy surface of the water unidentifiable reptiles moved slowly and sinuously. Dragonflies whose webby wings spanned a foot or more hummed and hovered between the sedges: their long, wicked bodies glittered bold green and ultramarine; they took their prey on the wing, pouncing with an audible snap of jaws on whining, ephemeral mosquitoes and fluttering moths of april blue and chevrolet cerise.

Over everything hung the heavy, oppressive stench of rotting metal. After an hour, Cromis' mouth was coated with a bitter deposit, and he tasted acids. He found it difficult to speak. While his horse stumbled and slithered beneath him, he gazed about in wonder, and poetry moved in his skull, swift as the jewelled mosquito-hawks over a dark slow current of ancient decay. ~ M. John Harrison
Mosquito quotes by M. John Harrison
Inevitably, malaria parasites developed resistance to commonly used drugs, and mosquito vectors became insecticide-resistant. ~ Anthony Fauci
Mosquito quotes by Anthony Fauci
In a way, the whole music industry is just catering to the inherent esteem issues all these artists have - it lays it all out on the line and baits the artist, like a light baits a mosquito. And you go right into it. With every comment on the internet, you go up, you go down, and it's a big shitshow full of uneducated people. ~ Willis Earl Beal
Mosquito quotes by Willis Earl Beal
Only a Chinaman or a retarded child can imagine being met, in that Next-Installment World, to the accompaniment of all sorts of tail-wagging and groveling of welcome, by the mosquito executed eighty years ago upon one's bare leg, which has been amputated since then and now, in the wake of the gesticulating mosquito, comes back, stomp, stomp, stomp, here I am, stick me on. ~ Vladimir Nabokov
Mosquito quotes by Vladimir Nabokov
Aching familiar in a way that made me wish I was still eight. Eight was before death or divorce or heartbreak. Eight was just eight. Hot dogs and peanut butter, mosquito bites and splinters, bikes and boogie boards. Tangled hair, sunburned shoulders, Judy Blume, in bed by nine thirty. ~ Jenny Han
Mosquito quotes by Jenny Han
People who say that small things don't bother them have never slept in a room with a mosquito. ~ Dennis Rainey
Mosquito quotes by Dennis Rainey
I have often received messages from diverse readers that, with some variations, pose similar questions. For example:
'What did you want to symbolize with: a) the man that hits another man on his head with an umbrella? b) the mosquito that dominates the man? c) the fifty chastising lambs?'
In all cases my answers, in these words or words like these, are;
When I write a story I try to make it the best possible story in a literary sense: I just want to write a story. ~ Fernando Sorrentino
Mosquito quotes by Fernando Sorrentino
Don't think of yourself as an intestinal tract and tangle of nerves in the skull, that will not work unless you drink coffee. Think of yourself as incandescent power, illuminated perhaps and forever talked to by God and his messengers ... Think if Tiffany's made a mosquito, how wonderful we would think it was! ~ Brenda Ueland
Mosquito quotes by Brenda Ueland
People who tell you never to let little things bother you have never tried sleeping in a room with a mosquito. ~ Katherine Chandler
Mosquito quotes by Katherine Chandler
He feels
ennui

- dig a well in the Sudan and thejanjaweed come in and shoot the people anyway

Ben is starting to be afraid that he is starting to share Chon's opinion of the human species

shit. ~ Don Winslow
Mosquito quotes by Don Winslow
A story with a moral appended is like the bill of a mosquito. It bores you, and then injects a stinging drop to irritate your conscience. ~ O. Henry
Mosquito quotes by O. Henry
There isn't one celebrity I've worked with who doesn't have major doubts about what impact they are having. I am glad when they question the impact, because it shows they are based firmly in the reality that peacemaking isn't the same as changing a streetlight or distributing mosquito nets. ~ John Prendergast
Mosquito quotes by John Prendergast
Are you to be an individual, a trespasser in territory none else has had the wit or nerve to explore, or just another troublesome mosquito to be swatted by the authorities? ~ Tom Robbins
Mosquito quotes by Tom Robbins
The mosquito knows full well, small as he is he's a beast of prey. But after all he only takes his bellyful, he doesn't put my blood in the bank. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Mosquito quotes by D.H. Lawrence
Shreave flicked away the dead mosquito. "Don't these things carry the bird flu too?"
"No Boyd, that would be a bird. ~ Carl Hiaasen
Mosquito quotes by Carl Hiaasen
I have the attention span of a mosquito from multitasking and all the things that have affected my poor little brain. ~ Ian Somerhalder
Mosquito quotes by Ian Somerhalder
Music as background to me becomes like a mosquito, an insect. In the studio we have big speakers, and to me that's the way music should be listened to. When I listen to music, I want to just listen to music. ~ David Lynch
Mosquito quotes by David Lynch
How to spell Aedes aegypti,the world's one-stop, viral-disease-transmitting mosquito: T-R-O-U-B-L-E. ~ T.K. Naliaka
Mosquito quotes by T.K. Naliaka
The problem is this: nature has assembled all these species on this planet. The human species is no more important than any other species on this planet. For some reason, man accorded himself a superior place in this scheme of things. He thinks that he is created for some grander purpose than, if I could give a crude example, the mosquito that is sucking his blood. What is responsible for this is the value system that we have created. And the value system has come out of the religious thinking of man. Man has created religion because it gives him a cover. This demand to fulfill himself, to seek something out there was made imperative because of this self-consciousness in you which occurred somewhere along the line of the evolutionary process. Man separated himself from the totality of nature. ~ U.G. Krishnamurti
Mosquito quotes by U.G. Krishnamurti
How strange the popsicle, the vanilla night, the night of close-packed ice cream, of mosquito-lotioned wrists, the night of running children suddenly veered from their games and put away behind glass, behind wood, the popsicles in melting puddles of lime and strawberry where they fell when the children were scooped indoors. ~ Ray Bradbury
Mosquito quotes by Ray Bradbury
The parasite that causes malaria edges through the cells of the stomach wall of the mosquito and forms a cyst which grows and eventually bursts to release hundreds of sporozoites into the body cavity of the mosquito ... As far as we can tell, the parasite does not harm the mosquito ... It has always seemed to me, though, that these growing cysts ... must at least give the mosquito something corresponding to a stomach-ache. ~ Marston Bates
Mosquito quotes by Marston Bates
Really", Ruthven had said when the question of his nature had first (awkwardly) arisen, early in their acquaintance, "the easiest thing is to think of me as a large well-dressed mosquito, only with more developed social graces and without the disease-vector aspect. ~ Vivian Shaw
Mosquito quotes by Vivian Shaw
I'm like a mosquito, I love humidity. I don't sweat. ~ Shakira
Mosquito quotes by Shakira
Insects influenced the shape of the Australian house. Some, like the white ant and lthe Lyctus borer, worked quietly and invisibly until a little shower of yellow dust or a sudden collapse indicated their presence. Others, like the mosquito and housefly, were less dangerous and more objectionable. The former type influenced structure in minor ways; the latter affected planning to a major degree. ~ Robin Boyd
Mosquito quotes by Robin Boyd
This kind of business (murder) required detachment. The trick was to do it almost casually, as you might flick on the radio, or swat a mosquito. ~ Clive Barker
Mosquito quotes by Clive Barker
We must either rearrange this unstable universe or we must exit from here! If we are not a mosquito or a crocodile, we must either dry out the marsh or exit from it! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Mosquito quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
When her mother combed Harriet's hair, she said that the woods were disgustingly muddy and mosquito-ridden. During her history unit on pioneers, her father bashfully admitted that he couldn't pitch a tent, barbeque, or fight off bears in a forest. They both agreed that such a place was unsafe. Hotels were better. ~ Kimberly Karalius
Mosquito quotes by Kimberly Karalius
Take a lesson from the mosquito. She never waits for an opening - she makes one. ~ Kirk Kirkpatrick
Mosquito quotes by Kirk Kirkpatrick
I believe more in precision, when you have the capability, like when you see a mosquito fly and you're able to hit it, you're able to hit it with a couple of short sharp shots ... it's a beautiful thing. ~ Alexis Arguello
Mosquito quotes by Alexis Arguello
If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Mosquito quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru. ~ Joko Beck
Mosquito quotes by Joko Beck
Reality doesn't wait for you to be ready for it. It doesn't go away when you tell it to. It's like a persistent mosquito, determined to suck your blood and leave you with a bumpy itch that you can't stop scratching. ~ Holly Bourne
Mosquito quotes by Holly Bourne
Often I have been exhausted on trout streams, uncomfortable, wet, cold, briar scarred, sunburned, mosquito bitten, but never, with a fly rod in my hand have I been less than in a place that was less than beautiful. ~ Charles Kuralt
Mosquito quotes by Charles Kuralt
If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room. ~ Anita Roddick
Mosquito quotes by Anita Roddick
My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other; violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream; we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death. ~ Francis Bacon
Mosquito quotes by Francis Bacon
You're big enough to bite now, mosquito, so shut up. ~ Kim Harrison
Mosquito quotes by Kim Harrison
Life is a hailstorm of distractions. It's not the monster that stops us but the mosquito. ~ Robert G. Allen
Mosquito quotes by Robert G. Allen
Something niggled her. A seemingly small fact she was overlooking. A rodent scurried through some leaves nearby. A mosquito whined in her ear. What was it? No flashlight. That was it. Fitch hadn't brought a flashlight outside with him. When she'd glimpsed him walking down the steps, she'd expected to see a light wink on. But it never did. And then he'd just strolled up that path in the dark like - Her breath caught in her chest. - like he could see. She sat up. That wasn't a strange-looking hat he'd been wearing. Those were night-vision goggles. ~ Blake Crouch
Mosquito quotes by Blake Crouch
The suicide bomber is no more than a mosquito. The occupation is the swamp. - Rami Elhanan, an ~ Rami Elhanan Israeli Citizen
Mosquito quotes by Rami Elhanan Israeli Citizen
let's begin with the word "vector." It comes from the Latin root vehere, "to carry," which also gives us words like "vehicle" and "conveyor belt." To an epidemiologist, a vector is the carrier of a pathogen, like the mosquito that conveys malaria to your bloodstream. To a mathematician, a vector (at least in its simplest form) is a step that carries you from one place to another. ~ Steven H. Strogatz
Mosquito quotes by Steven H. Strogatz
The Trader held the ring horizontal and let the fingertips of his right hand circle over it. As he did so, he closed his eyes, murmured something to himself, and was silent again. His eyes remained closed; he did not move.
"What's he doing?" whispered Walker.
Soledad shrugged her shoulders. "Something terribly powerful."
"Wrong." replied the Trader. "I'm concentrating on the mosquito bite on my left heel, so it will stop itching."
"Oh," Walker said seriously.
"Mosquito bite?" Soledad repeated.
"I can't catch ghosts if my foot is itching. I beg you for a little more understanding."
"But of course," Walker said spitefully. ~ Kai Meyer
Mosquito quotes by Kai Meyer
Believe that you can make a difference; in fact, you do with every single choice you make. Your money is your power and each time you spend it, it's a vote for something, so make it count. I personally live and work by this African Proverb - If you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito. ~ Lizzie Borden
Mosquito quotes by Lizzie Borden
A group of scientists wanted to find the most effective mosquito repellents. So they tested 10 different substances, including campout standbys like DEET, as well as a random choice: Victoria's Secret perfume Bombshell. Turns out the perfume is almost as good as DEET. ~ Annalee Newitz
Mosquito quotes by Annalee Newitz
If you think you're too small to make a difference, you've never been to bed with a mosquito. ~ Anita Roddick
Mosquito quotes by Anita Roddick
I slip off my flats and walk down the front porch steps, while Mother calls out for me to put my shoes back on, threatening ringworm, mosquito, encephalitis. The inevitability of death by no shoes. Death by no husband. ~ Kathryn Stockett
Mosquito quotes by Kathryn Stockett
She was crushed by society like a mosquito fending for its unborn young ~ Owen Jones
Mosquito quotes by Owen Jones
In my reality all the mosquitoes are vampires and all fireflies are dragons. ~ Munia Khan
Mosquito quotes by Munia Khan
You know the beauty of driving one of these? (Wulf)
No. (Cassandra)
You can swat a Daimon like a mosquito. (Wulf)
Well, since they're both bloodsucking insects, I say go for it. (Cassandra) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Mosquito quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Everyone absolutely knows what a strawberry tastes like, even if you are allergic to them. Everyone absolutely knows what the toilet flushing sounds like. Everyone absolutely scratches their mosquito bites. And I know that I was absolutely ready to die. This wasn't a cry for help. I didn't want to be saved. I was ready to call it quits. Done. Terminado. ~ Kimberly Russell
Mosquito quotes by Kimberly Russell
If you don't believe one person can make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito. ~ Anita Roddick
Mosquito quotes by Anita Roddick
The animal does not rebel against its own kind. Consider animals: how just they are, how well-behaved, how they keep to the time-honored, how loyal they are to the land that bears them, how they hold to their accustomed routes, how they care for their young, how they go together to pasture, and how they draw one another to the spring. There is not one that conceals its overabundance of prey and lets its brother starve as a result. There is not one that tries to enforce its will on those of its own kind. Not a one mistakenly imagines that it is an elephant when it is a mosquito. The animal lives fittingly and true to the life of its species, neither exceeding nor falling short of it.

He who never lives his animal must treat his brother like an animal. Abase yourself and live your animal so that you will be able to treat your brother correctly. You will thus redeem all those roaming dead who strive to feed on the living. And do not turn anything you do into a law, since that is the hubris of power. ~ C.G. Jung
Mosquito quotes by C.G. Jung
The work directed against mosquitoes carrying yellow fever had an equally good effect upon malaria, especially when anti-anopheles work was extended to the suburbs of the city. Before the year 1901 Havana had yearly from 300 to 500 deaths from malaria, rising as high in 1898 as 1,900 deaths. Since 1901 there has been a steady decrease in the malaria death rate until 1912, when there were only four deaths. Four deaths from malaria in a city in the tropics the size of Havana, about 300,000 population, means the extinction of malaria in that city. ~ William Crawford Gorgas
Mosquito quotes by William Crawford Gorgas
The normal sequence is that energy is prompted at the perceptual system, passes into consciousness, and thence to the motor system, where it is discharged by action. (I feel an unpleasant sensation, realize that I have been bitten by a mosquito, raise my hand, and swat the insect.) ~ Sigmund Freud
Mosquito quotes by Sigmund Freud
Ow."
"You had a mosquito."
"No, I didn't. ~ Michelle Hodkin
Mosquito quotes by Michelle Hodkin
If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito! ~ Wolfgang Reiber
Mosquito quotes by Wolfgang Reiber
It is only when a mosquito lands on your testicle that you realize that violence is never the answer. ~ Patrick G. Laplante
Mosquito quotes by Patrick G. Laplante
Have you ever been bitten by an elephant? How about a mosquito? It's the little things in life that will bite you. ~ Darren Hardy
Mosquito quotes by Darren Hardy
A map of Esmeralda should include, marked in different colored inks, all these routes, solid and liquid, evident and hidden. It is more difficult to fix on the map the routes of the swallows, who cut the air over the roofs, dropping long invisible parabolas with their still wings, darting to gulp a mosquito, spiraling upward, grazing a pinnacle, dominating from every point of their airy paths all the points of the city. ~ Italo Calvino
Mosquito quotes by Italo Calvino
Elvis Jr. watches you with considerable gravitas. He is a piercingly cute carajito. He has all these mosquito bites on his legs and an old scab on his head no one can explain to you. You are suddenly overcome with the urge to cover him with your arms, with your whole body. Later, Elvis Sr. fills you in on the Plan. I'll bring him over to the States in a few years. I'll tell the wife he was an accident, a one-time thing when I was drunk and I didn't find out about it until now. And that's going to work? It will work out, he says testily. Bro, your wife ain't going to buy that. And what the fuck do you know? Elvis says. It ain't like your shit ever works. ~ Junot Diaz
Mosquito quotes by Junot Diaz
It was her wedding dress and it had a flare-out bottom, and they had laid her head to foot in it so the dress could spread out, and they had made her a veil out of a mosquito bar so the auger holes in her face wouldn't show. ~ William Faulkner
Mosquito quotes by William Faulkner
The progressives are right that there is no way Gates can spend $50 billion on himself. He can only eat three meals a day and wear one set of clothes at a time. Even his heirs can be provided for with a fraction of that amount. Gates actually knows this. He has vowed to give away most of his fortune to charity. Nor is he waiting for death to do this. He has already given away billions. He buys mosquito nets for people in poor countries so that they don't get malaria. He invests in medical research. He funds educational projects in America and abroad. ~ Dinesh D'Souza
Mosquito quotes by Dinesh D'Souza
I'd eat a mosquito to satisfy my hunger for an itch. ~ Jarod Kintz
Mosquito quotes by Jarod Kintz
The world comes at me that way - comes at me in clumps of stuff, sometimes little vignettes and sometimes whole stories. And then the rest is erased by the internal filter that erases things for the same reason you'd forget swatting a mosquito. ~ Tim O'Brien
Mosquito quotes by Tim O'Brien
Grace was joining him at his request, to assist him in staring out at the swamp while they talked about Area X. Because he'd thought a change of setting - leaving the confines of the concrete coffin - might help soften her animosity. Before he realized just how truly hellish and prehistoric the landscape was, and thus now pre-hysterical as well. Look out upon this mosquito orgy, and warm to me, Grace. ~ Jeff VanderMeer
Mosquito quotes by Jeff VanderMeer
It is only when mosquito land on your balls that you realize there is a way to solve problems without using violence. ~ Confucius
Mosquito quotes by Confucius
When I write something I usually think it is very important and that I am a very fine writer. I think this happens to everyone. But there is one corner of my mind in which I know very well what I am, which is a small, a very small writer. I swear I know it. But that doesn't matter much to me. Only, I don't want to think about names: I can see that if I am asked 'a small writer like who?' it would sadden me to think of the names of other small writers. I prefer to think that no one has ever been like me, however small, however much a mosquito or a flea of a writer I may be. The important thing is to be convinced that this really is your vocation, your profession, something you will do all your life. ~ Natalia Ginzburg
Mosquito quotes by Natalia Ginzburg
It is astonishing how much worse one mosquito can be than a swarm. A swarm can be prepared against, but one mosquito takes on a personality - a hatefulness, a sinister quality of the struggle to the death. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Mosquito quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
I think this spring as the mosquito populations start to increase, we should be especially cautious about locations where we've had locally-transmitted Dengue virus. The same mosquito species that transmits Zika also transmits Dengue. It's confined primarily to Florida, South Florida, along the Gulf states and Southern Texas with a few small populations in Arizona and California. ~ Laura Harrington
Mosquito quotes by Laura Harrington
They passed a couple of guys making a bronze windup toy. At least that's what it looked like. It was a six-inch-tall centaur - half man, half horse - armed with a miniature bow. One of the campers cranked the centaur's tail, and it whirred to life. It galloped across the table, yelling, "Die, mosquito! Die, mosquito!" and shooting everything in sight. ~ Rick Riordan
Mosquito quotes by Rick Riordan
I see myself as a roving mosquito, choosing it's target. ~ Kenneth Williams
Mosquito quotes by Kenneth Williams
The use of vaccine in the control of yellow fever should occupy more or less the same place that typhoid fever vaccine has in the control of typhoid fever. No sanitary authority would desire to substitute typhoid vaccine for the supply of pure water and food, so we must not accept the yellow fever vaccine as a substitute for the elimination of Aedes aegypti. The vaccine provides individual protection for the person who cannot be protected by more general measures. ~ Fred Lowe Soper
Mosquito quotes by Fred Lowe Soper
Insects have their own point of view about civilization a man thinks he amounts to a great deal but to a flea or a mosquito a human being is merely something good to eat. ~ Don Marquis
Mosquito quotes by Don Marquis
We scarified a mosquito. I bet that's what did it. It was probably a virgin too. ~ Kelley Armstrong
Mosquito quotes by Kelley Armstrong
I've just been bitten on the neck by a vampire ... mosquito. Does that mean that when the night comes I will rise and be annoying? ~ Vera Nazarian
Mosquito quotes by Vera Nazarian
Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have bee devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy. ~ Hans Zinsser
Mosquito quotes by Hans Zinsser
Not a lot of attention has been paid to the Asian tiger mosquito, which is another species which we believe can also transmit Zika virus. It has a much broader range. It's found all the way north into coastal areas of Connecticut, Long Island and the New York metro area. ~ Laura Harrington
Mosquito quotes by Laura Harrington
Only mosquito can save Nigeria. Only mosquito can save South Africa. Only mosquito can save Zimbabwe Only mosquito can save Namibia. Only mosquito can save Africa. Only malaria can save Africa. Only yellow fever can save Africa. ~ Laurie Garrett
Mosquito quotes by Laurie Garrett
Daisy offered a mosquito which bit you and gave you yellow fever. 'You turn as yellow as a lemon and then you die,' she said. ~ Eva Ibbotson
Mosquito quotes by Eva Ibbotson
You don't know your origin tales, your biological truth (accident), your deaths (mosquito bites, mostly), your lives (denial, cheerfully). ~ Max Porter
Mosquito quotes by Max Porter
My father was no different from a king except for one thing."

"And what was that?"

"He never taught me to kill. He left me to learn it alone as I went through life."

"Did life teach you to kill?"

"Of course it did."

"And have you killed anybody yet?"

"Yes, I have."

He stared at me for a brief moment, laughed and then said, "I can't believe that someone like you can kill."

"Why not?"

"Because you are too gentle."

"And who said to kill does not require gentleness?"

He looked into my eyes again, laughed, and said, "I cannot believe that you are capable of killing anything, even a mosquito."

"I might not kill a mosquito, but I can kill a man. ~ Nawal El Saadawi
Mosquito quotes by Nawal El Saadawi
What may look normal to a spider , will look like a chaos to a mosquito. ~ Reddioui Islam
Mosquito quotes by Reddioui Islam
I was nicknamed Skeeter in Little League because I was small and fast, like a mosquito flying across the outfield. ~ Skeet Ulrich
Mosquito quotes by Skeet Ulrich
Beelzebug n. Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out. ~ Steven Pinker
Mosquito quotes by Steven Pinker
Be persistent like a mosquito, at the end you will get your bite ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Mosquito quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
To her lover a beautiful woman is a delight; / To a monk she's a distraction; / To a mosquito, a good meal. It makes the point well: how things seem depends on the lens or filter through which we look at them. ~ Tara Bennett-Goleman
Mosquito quotes by Tara Bennett-Goleman
