MAN, n. An animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole habitable earth and Canada.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found.
Isaac Watts
Image
The musquetos continue to infest us in such manner that we can scarcely exist. My dog even howls with the torture he experiences.
Meriwether Lewis

When the king asked him what he meant by infesting the sea, the pirate defiantly replied: The same as you do when you infest the whole world but because I do it with a little ship I am called a robber, and because you do it with a great fleet, you are an emperor.
Saint Augustine
Image
And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares, that infest the day, Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, and silently steal away.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Aesthetic culture is not the high-road to all the virtues, and, indeed, certain of the vices have been known to infest it. Neither, on the other hand, is there any special grace in ugliness. Art is only utterance. It must express something and the vital question is, what does it express?
Lewis Foreman Day

Bad luck and (extreme) misfortune will infest your pathetic soul for all eternity.
Rocko

Luxury spreads its ample board before their eyes but they are excluded from the banquet. Plenty revels over the fields but theyare starving in the midst of its abundance: the whole wilderness has blossomed into a garden but they feel as reptiles that infest it.
Washington Irving
