As the moths around a taper, As the bees around a rose, As the gnats around a vapour, So the spirits group and close Round about a holy childhood, as if drinking its repose.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Image
Straining at gnats and swallowing camels is a required course in law schools.
Robert A. Heinlein

You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.
Victor Hugo
Image
When the sun shines let foolish gnats make sport, But creep in crannies when he hides his beams.
William Shakespeare
Image
The girl dreams she is dangerously ill. Suddenly birds come out of her skin and cover her completely ... Swarms of gnats obscure the sun, the moon, and all the stars except one. That one start falls upon the dreamer.
Carl Jung
Image
And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything As You Like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it's always daisy-time.
D. H. Lawrence
Image
Towards gnats and fleas we should show no pity. We would do right to hang petty thieves, petty calumniators, and slanderers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Other people write about the bling and the booty. I write about the pus and the gnats. To me, that's beautiful.
Vic Chesnutt

Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats.
