Bite

Famous quotes containing the word bite:

“The proverb warns that “You should not bite the hand that feeds you.” But maybe you should, if it prevents you from feeding yourself.”

Any more. I bite my lip and
Turn to you. Maybe now you understand.
The feeling is a jewel like a pearl.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
