About This Quote

I am one of the millions of people who have fallen in love with this quote. It fits like a glove. I love that it can be used as a pickup line or as a statement of fact. It’s also very clever because it makes me think of fruit flies (which are insects, not people, right? :)). And I like the fact that it’s short.
