Rick Strassman, Inner Paths to Outer Space: Journeys to Alien Worlds through Psychedelics & Other Spiritual Technologies

Neal Stephenson
“A red dragonfly hovers above a backwater of the stream, its wings moving so fast that the eye sees not wings in movement but a probability distribution of where the wings might be, like electron orbitals: a quantum-mechanical effect that maybe explains why the insect can apparently teleport from one place to another, disappearing from one point and reappearing a couple of meters away, without seeming to pass through the space in between. There sure is a lot of bright stuff in the jungle. Randy figures that, in the natural world, anything that is colored so brightly must be some kind of serious evolutionary badass.”
Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon

Arundhati Roy, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness

Winston Groom
“One day we found them. They must of been holding a gook convention or something, cause it seem like the same sort of deal as when you step on a anthill and they all come swarming around.”
Winston Groom, Forrest Gump

“One day a mayfly said this to a moth drawn to a flame.

"You know that flame is a trap set by humans. It is not like you only have one day to live as I do. Why would you throw yourself at the flame knowing you'll die?"

And so the moth said "the flame is too beautiful not to throw myself at. There is no beauty without pain.”
Kim Bok Joo

“We鈥檙e not having sex, are we?鈥�
鈥淣o,鈥� Talia confirmed. 鈥淒on鈥檛 take it the wrong way, you鈥檙e by far the nicest insect I鈥檝e ever spent time with, but first contact is one thing. I鈥檓 not sure my reputation can take sleeping with the first alien I meet.”
Gavin G. Smith, A Quantum Mythology

Vincent Okay Nwachukwu, Weighty 'n' Worthy African Proverbs - Volume 1

F谩bio Moon
“Unlike at the top of the rubber tree, here on the ground things were less comfortable, infested with anthills, pests and tree parasites. Anthills appeared overnight, sculpting dark mounds on the wooden fence and the tree trunks. The task of destroying the anthills would always be left to me. It was quite a spectacle seeing these organised families going up in flames. What a pleasure I got from witnessing a whole hierarchy of insects turn to ash.”
F谩bio Moon, Two Brothers

鈥榃别-别惫颈濒!&谤诲辩耻辞;
Michael Bassey Johnson, Song of a Nature Lover

“Dredging up all the miserable Latin he knew, Ambrose fished for some word similar to lupinus.

And suddenly he had it!

Pulicus! That was the word the sloppy copyist of yesteryear had wrongly transcribed.

From the word pulex, meaning "flea."

Not how to become a wolf-like man, but a flea-like man鈥攖hat was what the formula had described.”
Robert Donald Locke, G-r-r-r...!

Emilia Hart
“Outside, the valley was hazy with the afternoon sun. Midges shimmered in the sweet-smelling air.
"Ugh," said Frederick, swatting at his face. "Don't care much for midges, I must say. Not quite sure there's any point to them, the blasted things."
"Oh, but there is," Violet said, excitedly. "A point to them, I mean. They're a very important food source for toads and swallows, actually. You could say the whole valley depends on them, in the summer. And I think they're rather pretty---they look a bit like fairy dust, in this light, don't you think?”
Emilia Hart, Weyward

Jenny Noble Anderson
“Maybe one day you'll see
me latched barkside to that tree,
teasing my way out of the skin I'm in
until I plunk into the dirt. Until I slither
then fly. Shiny and high.
Leaving only an effigy鈥�
a hollowed-out
replica
behind.”
Jenny Noble Anderson, But Still She Flies: Poems and Paintings

Katherine Mansfield
“Tell me, what is the difference between my life and that of an ordinary prisoner. The only difference I can see is that I put myself in jail and nobody鈥檚 ever going to let me out.
[...]
I鈥檓 like an insect that鈥檚 flown into a room of its own accord. I dash against the walls, dash against the windows, flop against the ceiling, do everything on God鈥檚 earth, in fact, except fly out again. And all the while I鈥檓 thinking, like that moth, or that butterfly, or whatever it is, 鈥楾he shortness of life! The shortness of life!鈥�
[...]
Why don鈥檛 I fly out again? There鈥檚 the window or the door or whatever it was I came in by. It鈥檚 not hopelessly shut鈥攊s it? Why don鈥檛 I find it and be off? Answer me that, little sister.鈥� But he gave her no time to answer. 鈥淚鈥檓 exactly like that insect again. For some reason鈥濃€擩onathan paused between the words鈥斺€渋t鈥檚 not allowed, it鈥檚 forbidden, it鈥檚 against the insect law, to stop banging and flopping and crawling up the pane even for an instant.”
Katherine Mansfield, At the Bay
