![“[Insects] are not only cold-blooded, and green- and yellow-blooded, but are also cased in a clacking horn. They have rigid eyes and brains strung down their backs. But they make up the bulk of our comrades-at-life, so I look to them for a glimmer of companionship.” quote by Annie Dillard](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/23e/annie-dillard-509_brain_insects-are-not-only-cold-blooded-and-gr_94933.jpg)
