Gila Monster Bite

Famous quotes containing the words monster and/or bite:

    By heaven, he echoes me,
    As if there were some monster in his thought
    Too hideous to be shown.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
