A plague on eminence! I hardly dare cross the street anymore without a convoy, and I am stared at wherever I go like an idiot member of a royal family or an animal in a zoo; and zoo animals have been known to die from stares.
Igor Stravinsky
A revolution is interesting insofar as it avoids like the plague the plague it promised to heal.
Daniel Berrigan
As for AIDS, it's a plague. We are human, we get plagues. They come along every so often, kill off two thirds of the population; in the next generation it's a quarter; after that it's a childhood disease.
Larry Niven
I had assumed that I would age with all my friends growing old around me, dying off very gradually one by one. And here was a plague that cut them off so early.
Thom Gunn

Mike Wallace
I have to shoot without any breaks. I yell at Herzog and hit him. I have to fight for every sequence. I wish Herzog would catch the plague, more than ever.
Klaus Kinski
I'd move to Los Angeles if New Zealand and Australia were swallowed up by a tidal wave, if there was a bubonic plague in England and if the continent of Africa disappeared from some Martian attack.

Camille Claudel
Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.

Make money your god and it will plague you like the devil.
Henry Fielding
Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, expels diseases, softens every pain, subdues the rage of poison, and the plague.

Uri Geller
