Biting

Famous quotes containing the word biting:

“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds....

—Stephanie Martson (20th century)

“That’s the trouble with directors. Always biting the hand that lays the golden egg.”
—Samuel Goldwyn (1882–1974)

“When man
enters woman,

again and again,
and the woman opens her mouth in pleasure
and her teeth gleam ...”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
