Nibbling Quotes

• Aquellos que sólo toman un pellizco aquí y un pellizco allá nunca alcanzarán nada... Aquellos que realmente quieren ser yoguis deben renunciar, de una vez por todas, a este picar en las cosas. Toma una idea. Haz de esa idea tu vida - piensa en ella, sueña con ella, vive de esa idea.

• El mayor enemigo del hambre de Dios no es el veneno, sino la tarta de manzana. No es el banquete de los malvados lo que embota nuestro apetito por el cielo, sino el interminable picoteo en la mesa del mundo. No es el video de clasificación X, sino la trivialidad que bebemos cada noche.

• Preferiría acabar como abono bajo un girasol que al final se convierte en aceite de semillas de girasol para que, en lugar de mordisquearme en su cóctel de gambas, la chica guapa me unte en sus bristols mientras toma el sol en una playa del Caribe.

• La orilla del mar es una especie de terreno neutral, un punto muy ventajoso desde el que contemplar el mundo....Allí está la Naturaleza desnuda, inhumanamente sincera, sin perder de vista al hombre, mordisqueando la orilla acantilada donde las gaviotas revolotean entre el rocío.

• In America, much foreign policy seems contrived to be an exercise in political theory with no attention to history whatsoever. Yet there's a great reverence for history - though it's history as thumb-sucking, security blanket-nibbling self-congratulation.

• The moles nested in my cellar, nibbling every third potato, and making a snug bed even there of some hair left after plastering and of brown paper; for even the wildest animals love comfort and warmth as well as man, and they survive the winter only because they are so careful to secure them.

• Recto mi ojo ha captado nuevos placeres Mientras el paisaje a su alrededor mide, prados rojizos y barbechos grises, Donde los rebaños mordisqueantes se pierden, Montañas en cuyo pecho estéril Las nubes laboriosas a menudo descansan; Prados adornados con margaritas pied, arroyos poco profundos, y ríos de ancho.

• Vanity may be likened to the smooth-skinned and velvet-footed mouse, nibbling about forever in expectation of a crumb; while self-esteem is too apt to take the likeness of the huge butcher's dog, who carries off your steaks, and growls at you as be goes.

• To me, my husband was my son's murderer. He was also my daughter's molester. A parasite nibbling on the Holy Book, he was Lucifer, holding me by the throat and driving me to sin every night. He was Bhai's destroyer, Amma Sain's tormentor, Ma's humbler and the people's exploiter. He was the rapist of orphans and the fiend that fed on the weak. But over and above all this, he was known to be the man closest to Allah, the one who could reach Him and save us.

• Reyes, what happened?” He‘d been busy nibbling his way to my collarbone, his hot mouth evoking seismic activity at each point of contact. I really hated to interrupt, but … “Reyes, are you listening to me?” He raised his head, a sensual grin playing at the corners of his mouth, and said, “I‘m listening.” “To what? The sound of blood rushing to your nether regions?” “No,” he said with a husky chuckle that made me tingle everywhere. “To your heartbeat.

• No.” He wouldn’t lie about that. Not to her. And not because she’d rip him to pieces when she discovered the truth. “I can’t give you forever.” The nibbling increased in intensity, leaving a bead of blood in the center of her mouth. “Because we’re not a good match?” Of course she would remember every insult he’d ever thrown at her. “Yes.” “Then what can you give me?” “Here. Now.” Something his body craved more with every second that passed.

• Lord Maccon asked meekly, shifting against her in a manner that ensured she realized the nibbling had affected his outsides just as much as her insides. Alexia was partly shocked, partly intrigued by the idea that as he was naked, she might actually get to see what he looked like. She had seen sketches of the nude male, of course, for purely technical purposes. She was given to wonder if werewolves were anatomically bigger in certain areas.

• Rust, corrosion, wind, rain. The nibbling teeth of mice and the acrid droppings of insects and the devouring jaws of years. The was of nature upon machines, of the planet's chaotic forces upon the works of humankind. The energy that man had pulled from the earth was being inexorably pulled back into it, sucked like water down a drain. Before long, if it hadn't happened already, not a single high-tension pole would be left standing on the earth. Mankind had built a world that would take a hundred years to die. A century for the last light to go out.

• There's a Polar Bear In our Frigidaire-- He likes it 'cause it's cold in there. With his seat in the meat And his face in the fish And his big hairy paws In the buttery dish, He's nibbling the noodles, And munching the rice, He's slurping the soda, He's licking the ice. And he lets out a roar If you open the door. And it gives me a scare To know he's in there-- That Polary Bear In our Fridgitydaire.
