Jaws

Famous quotes containing the word jaws:

“Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,
Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth,
And, ere a man hath power to say “Behold!”
The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
So quick bright things come to confusion.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The sweetest joys of life grow in the very jaws of its perils.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
