Nettles Quotes

“The creeks wend between beech trees, then end where freshets feed the meres (there, the speckled perch teem; there, the freckled newts rest). The leverets, then the shrews, chew the nettles. The dew bedews the ferns.”
― Christian Bök, Eunoia

“But stinging nettles: They just love existing, don't they? They're bastards. Stinging nettles are the Nazis of the weed world.”
― Eddie Izzard, Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chickens
