I jog at the Rose Bowl, and I collect antique and vintage furniture, so I'm there every few weeks for the flea market. ~ Theo Rossi
The Flea quotes by Theo Rossi
Military commanders choose to overlook the Kenyan proverb that proclaims the power of the flea--"A flea can trouble a lion more than the lion can harm a flea." Most generals would rather be lions than fleas. ~ William R. Polk
The Flea quotes by William R. Polk
My sister and I were not allowed expensive clothes. We so badly wanted these Fila sneakers as kids, but my mother took us down to the flea market and got imitation ones. Look at the early Destiny's Child videos. You'll see. ~ Solange Knowles
The Flea quotes by Solange Knowles
The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race can no more be exterminated than the flea can be. The last man lives the longest. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
The Flea quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The creator had nothing to do with her rescue." "Yeah, he should have cried, thank the Flea!" Quain said. "Ooh, I like. We should use it all the time," Loren added. They tried out variations of it as they headed inside with Flea trotting behind them. "Guess ~ Maria V. Snyder
The Flea quotes by Maria V. Snyder
To be born, to live and to die is merely to change forms ... And what does one form matter any more than another? ... Each form has its own sort of happiness and unhappiness. From the elephant down to the flea ... from the flea down to the sensitive and living molecule which is the origin of all, there is not a speck in the whole of nature that does not feel pain or pleasure. ~ John Dewey
The Flea quotes by John Dewey
After death, you go on a very long way, that is going up. As you go, little by little, your features change. Your nose and ears retract in the flesh of your face like the little legs of a shellfish. Your fingers retract in your palm, your hands rebsorb in your shoulders. The same, your feet retract to your hips and you don't walk anymore, you just float along a red brick wall, on which you leave your shadow like a streched disk.
You are so round, that you become translucent and begin to see on all sides at once. While we are alive, we see through a postal box, but after death, we see around, with all our skin.
Floating and looking at the the brick wall closer and closer, we get to a round place. There, in the middle, there is a cell, for we are in a mother's womb. We enter the cell, and as the stages of our birth take place, we can see through the eyes of all beings, of the flea, of the rabbit, of the cat, the dog, the monkey, the man.. and with a little bit of luck, we can see through the eyes of the wonderful beings that follow the human being.
A dead man is now looking at you through my eyes. ~ Mircea Cărtărescu
The Flea quotes by Mircea Cărtărescu
Forgiveness is not simply the absolving of an enemy, or one who has done us wrong. Forgiveness must encompass all those things which disturb the tranquility of our soul: the barking dog that robs you of sleep, the heat of summer, the cold of winter. Forgive the ingrown toenail, the flea that bites; forgive the cranky child, wrinkles, a forgotten birthday. ~ Barbara Wood
The Flea quotes by Barbara Wood
You cannot imagine what sorrow and anger seize one's whole soul when a great idea, which one has long and piously revered, is picked up by some bunglers and dragged into the street, to more fools like themselves, and one suddenly meets it in the flea market, unrecognizable, dirty, askew, absurdly presented, without proportion, without harmony, a toy for stupid children. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Flea quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Pervy and redundant, don't you think?" I asked the big gay cop, who wouldn't know a va-jay-jay if it bounced up to him and sang the "Star-Spangled Banner." (You ever notice that hardly anything besides the "Star-Spangled Banner" is spangled? There's no, like, the Raisin-Spangled Scone, or the Flea-Spangled Beagle. I'm just saying.)
Being the Journal of Abby Normal ~ Christopher Moore
The Flea quotes by Christopher Moore
Simply put, within AS, there is a wide range of function. In truth, many AS people will never receive a diagnosis. They will continue to live with other labels or no label at all. At their best, they will be the eccentrics who wow us with their unusual habits and stream-of-consciousness creativity, the inventors who give us wonderfully unique gadgets that whiz and whirl and make our life surprisingly more manageable, the geniuses who discover new mathematical equations, the great musicians and writers and artists who enliven our lives. At their most neutral, they will be the loners who never now quite how to greet us, the aloof who aren't sure they want to greet us, the collectors who know everyone at the flea market by name and date of birth, the non-conformists who cover their cars in bumper stickers, a few of the professors everyone has in college. At their most noticeable, they will be the lost souls who invade our personal space, the regulars at every diner who carry on complete conversations with the group ten tables away, the people who sound suspiciously like robots, the characters who insist they wear the same socks and eat the same breakfast day in and day out, the people who never quite find their way but never quite lose it either. ~ Liane Holliday Willey
The Flea quotes by Liane Holliday Willey
We are so addicted, either to materialism or to transcending material reality, that we don't see God right in front of us, in the beggar, the starving child, the brokenhearted woman; in our friend; in the cat; in the flea. We miss it, and in missing it, we allow the world to be destroyed. ~ Andrew Harvey
The Flea quotes by Andrew Harvey
If I'm going to try and find something, I stick to the flea markets, or I pull hand-me-downs from my family because I like pieces to have stories. ~ Troian Bellisario
The Flea quotes by Troian Bellisario
A fly and a flea in a flue (3 beats)
Were imprisoned, so what could they do? (3 beats)
Said the fly, "Let us flee!" (2 beats)
"Let us fly!" said the flea, (2 beats)
So they fled through a flaw in the flue. (3 beats) ~ Trudi Hammel Garland
The Flea quotes by Trudi Hammel Garland
When I take on a design project, I have to jet from the bookstore to the hardware shop to the lamp store and back again just to collect a small portion of the many items I need to fill a home. But, when you hit the flea market, they're all right there. From booth to booth, you have the bases covered. ~ Nate Berkus
The Flea quotes by Nate Berkus
I went to the flea market in the morning and charged tourists money to take pictures of me. I looked pretty wild, with hair down to my waist, Indian robes, a floor-length fur coat. There must be lots of photos of me out there. ~ Wolfgang Beltracchi
The Flea quotes by Wolfgang Beltracchi
Glory, glory, said the Bee, Hallelujah, said the Flea. Praise the Lord, remarked the Wren. At springtime all is born-again. ~ Eric Metaxas
The Flea quotes by Eric Metaxas
Some kids spent their allowance going to see 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'; I spent mine on a great-looking lamp I'd found at the flea market and a ceramic bowl from a neighborhood garage sale. ~ Nate Berkus
The Flea quotes by Nate Berkus
One often hears of writers that rise and swell with their subject, though it may seem but an ordinary one. How, then, with me, writing of this Leviathan? Unconsciously my chirography expands into placard capitals. Give me a condor's quill! Give me Vesuvius' crater for an inkstand! Friends, hold my arms! For in the mere act of penning my thoughts of this Leviathan, they weary me, and make me faint with their out-reaching comprehensiveness of sweep, as if to include the whole circle of the sciences, and all the generations of whales, and men, and mastodons, past, present, and to come, with all the revolving panoramas of empire on earth, and throughout the whole universe, not excluding its suburbs. Such, and so magnifying, is the virtue of a large and liberal theme! We expand to its bulk. To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be who have tried it. ~ Herman Melville
The Flea quotes by Herman Melville
Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is;
Me it sucked first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, or shame, or loss of maidenhead,
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pampered swells with one blood made of two,
And this, alas, is more than we would do.


Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare,
Where we almost, nay more than married are.
This flea is you and I, and this
Our mariage bed and mariage temple is;
Though parents grudge, and you, we are met,
And cloisterd in these living walls of jet.
Though use make you apt to kill me,
Let not to that, self-murder added be,
And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.


Cruel and sudden, hast thou since
Purpled thy nail in blood of innocence?
Wherein could this flea guilty be,
Except in that drop which it sucked from thee?
Yet thou triumph'st, and say'st that thou
Find'st not thy self, nor me the weaker now;
'Tis true; then learn how false, fears be:
Just so much honor, when thou yield'st to me,
Will waste, as this flea's death took life from thee. ~ John Donne
The Flea quotes by John Donne
I always had dreams. I knew I wanted to have money to buy things at the flea market. That's worked out well. ~ Debi Mazar
The Flea quotes by Debi Mazar
Beauty is startling. She wears a gold shawl in the summer and sells seven kinds of honey at the flea market. She is young and old at once, my daughter and my grandmother. In school she excelled in mathematics and poetry ... Beauty will dance with anyone who is brave enough to ask her. ~ J. Ruth Gendler
The Flea quotes by J. Ruth Gendler
The flea, though he kill none, he does all the harm he can. ~ John Donne
The Flea quotes by John Donne
I don't like shopping, so I'll look online. I like going to the flea market at the Rose Bowl every once in a while. I like the same stores, Opening Ceremony and APC. ~ Gia Coppola
The Flea quotes by Gia Coppola
I grew up listening to the Beatles and being an ardent Beatles fan when I was in third grade all the way to adulthood, and listening to all kinds of music that came to us either at the flea market or in our living rooms or on the 'Ed Sullivan' show - all these places we were influenced by. ~ Sandra Cisneros
The Flea quotes by Sandra Cisneros
We had left the flea market - collecting Malena from a stall that sold live birds, where she'd purchased a box of pigeons which she had proceeded to suck dry in the car - ~ Seanan McGuire
The Flea quotes by Seanan McGuire
With acting, I always feel conscious of what I'm doing. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
So, naturalists observe, a flea; Hath smaller fleas that on him prey; And these have smaller fleas to bite 'em, And so proceed ad infinitum. ~ Jonathan Swift
The Flea quotes by Jonathan Swift
I wanted to play in a band, and I wanted to do music for a living, and that's what I dedicated my life to. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
Sisters, girlfriends and troublemakers -- you know who you are -- you are fearfully and wonderfully made! In other words, God doesn't make junk. Thankfully, his children do, and that's why we have been blessed with flea markets just about everywhere. ~ Annie Jones
The Flea quotes by Annie Jones
I have a few friends that I think would go to bat for me no matter what. Flea is definitely one of them. Guy Oseary is one of them. ~ Anthony Kiedis
The Flea quotes by Anthony Kiedis
In L.A., I did a lot of vintage flea market dresses and Doc Martens. ~ Bella Hadid
The Flea quotes by Bella Hadid
When I got with Nina Greenberg, I had been running for a few months already without a trainer. But then she gave me a program and guided me through my runs, showing me how to take care of myself and letting me know I should ice my legs and stretch - stuff I hadn't been doing. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
Sensitivity isn't being wimpy. It's about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom. ~ Jeff Buckley
The Flea quotes by Jeff Buckley
Only a flea of hope.. 'But fleas ain't easy to rid' -Meronym ~ David Mitchell
The Flea quotes by David Mitchell
Your rights matter, because you never know when you're going to need them. ~ Edward Snowden
The Flea quotes by Edward Snowden

I love my life and my mistakes and my triumphs - all of it. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
Ethiopia is such a great country, beautiful place. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
I was always interested in fashion and beauty. I was fifteen when I was scouted in a flea market. Two years later, I arrived in New York. I was in awe because it was like another planet. ~ Candice Swanepoel
The Flea quotes by Candice Swanepoel
All my career, all that I've really done has been based on emotion and intuition and gravitating toward what sounds good. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
I feel lost yet strangely at home, like a flea who has taken up residence on a zebra. ~ A.G. Howard
The Flea quotes by A.G. Howard
I don't trust happiness. I turn it over as if it were a glass at a flea market or a rug at a souk, looking for chipped rims or loose threads. ~ Jennifer Weiner
The Flea quotes by Jennifer Weiner
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
The Flea quotes by Don Marquis
We were these arty punks from Hollywood. I considered myself an intellectual. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea

The Flea quotes by Wynter Gordon
Everything that is not love is cowardice. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
Such a fool was I. It's a fool who's seduced by that which feels good. Nothing but a simple fool. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
I collect travel alarm clocks. I was in a flea market in France once, in 1994, and I opened up this beautiful Jaeger-LeCoultre folding eight-day winding clock folded into a beautiful case, and I went, 'Wow, man.' And I've been collecting travel alarm clocks since 1994. ~ Alec Baldwin
The Flea quotes by Alec Baldwin
I started playing trumpet when I was 11 years old. All I wanted to be was a jazz trumpet player when I grew up. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
I noticed that I used to go to second hand shops and flea markets and find funny, cute things, but now I go into those stores, and I think, This is dead people's stuff. This is all, like, somebody cleaned out their parents' house, and I don't want any of it. If I didn't want it from my parents, I don't want it from your parents. ~ Roz Chast
The Flea quotes by Roz Chast
I am not sure how much I would like being married if I wasn't married to him. A man who likes flea markets and isn't gay? I knew I was lucky. ~ Lynda Barry
The Flea quotes by Lynda Barry
Damn skippy it's a flea collar. I'm not taking no chances. ~ Janet Evanovich
The Flea quotes by Janet Evanovich
Rome was a flea market of borrowed gods and conquered peoples, a bargain basement on two floors, earth and heaven, a mass of filth convoluted in a triple not as in an intestinal obstruction ~ Boris Pasternak
The Flea quotes by Boris Pasternak
Kids deserve arts, and it's just as important as science, math, history, English or athletics. ~ Flea
The Flea quotes by Flea
