Bite Quotes - page 7

It is impossible to read the works of the economists who since the time of Smith have endeavored to build up and elucidate the science of political economy without seeing how, over and over again, they stumble over the law of wages without once recognizing it. Yet, "if it were a dog it would bite them!" Indeed, it is difficult to resist the impression that some of them really saw this law of wages, but, fearful of the practical conclusions to which it would lead, preferred to ignore and cover it up, rather than use it as the key to problems which without it are so perplexing. A great truth to an age which has rejected and trampled on it, is not a word of peace, but a sword! (Henry George)
Always do that, wild ducks do. They shoot to the bottom as deep as they can get, sir - and bite themselves fast in the tangle and seaweed - and all the devil's own mess that grows down there. And they never come up again. View quote

Well I love her; But I love to fish. I spend all day out on this lake And hell is all I catch. Today she met me at the door Said I would have to choose. If I hit that fishin' hole today, She'd be packin' all her things, And she'd be gone by noon.Well, I'm gonna miss her When I get home. But right now I'm on this lake shore And I'm sittin' in the sun. I'm sure it'll hit me When I walk through that door tonight That I'm gonna miss her. Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite. View quote

I don't bite. Except ... we've known each other for a very long time, and I suspect you know that's not entirely true. Is it? View quote

Nothing helped; I was fading helplessly away with open eyes, staring straight at the ceiling. Finally I stuck my forefinger in my mouth and took to sucking on it.

And without a moment's hesitation I squeezed my eyes shut and clenched my teeth together. I jumped up. I was finally awake. View quote

It was an important moment. The old partners of the spectacle of punishment, the body and the blood, gave way. A new character came of the scene, masked. It was the end of a certain kind of tragedy; comedy began, with shadow play, faceless voices, impalpable entities. The apparatus of punitive justice must now bite into this bodiless reality.
