Quotes about pestilence
1. Every night I pray I whisper into a megaphone, not only so God is sure to hear, but also my neighbors, because I pray to God He’ll deliver pestilence and plague to the residents next door.

- Jarod Kintz, The Days of Yay are Here! Wake Me Up When They're Over.

3. To the untutored sage, the concentration of population was the prolific mother of all evils, moral no less than physical.

- Charles Alexander Eastman, The Soul of the Indian
