I found a little beetle, so that beetle was his name,
And I called him Alexander and he answered just the same.

Forgiven (affectionately also known as Alexander Beetle)A. A. Milne
A beetle may or may not be inferior to a man — the matter awaits demonstration; but if he were inferior by ten thousand fathoms, the fact remains that there is probably a beetle view of things of which a man is entirely ignorant. If he wishes to conceive that point of view, he will scarcely reach it by persistently revelling in the fact that he is not a beetle.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
O’er folded blooms
On swirls of musk,
The beetle booms adown the glooms
And bumps along the dusk.James Whitcomb Riley
My lords, we are vertebrate animals, we are mammalia! My learned friend's manner would be intolerable in Almighty God to a black beetle.
William Henry Maule
You see, when a blind beetle crawls over the surface of a globe he doesn't notice that the track he has covered is curved. I was lucky enough to have spotted it.
Albert Einstein
There has been a great difficulty in getting anything into the heads of this generation. It has been like splitting hemlock knots with a corn-dodger for a wedge and a pumpkin for a beetle.
