“I desire no future that will break the ties of the past.”

“The world has teeth and it can bite you with them any time it wants.”

“My best! my last friends!
Let's not unman each other: part at once:
All farewells should be sudden, when for ever,
Else they make an eternity of moments,
And clog the last sad sands of life with tears.
Hence, and be happy: trust me, I am not
Now to be pitied; or far more for what
Is past than present; — for the future, 'tis
In the hands of the deities, if such
There be: I shall know soon. Farewell — Farewell.”

“And because my teeth don't bite, I can take them out dancing
I can take my little teeth out and show them a real good time”

“It may sound corny, but what's wrong with wanting to fight for your country. Why are people reluctant to use the word patriotism?”

“When the Law shows her teeth, but dares not bite.”

“Love isn’t soft, like those poets say. Love has teeth which bite and the wounds never close.”

“I am a connoisseur of fine irony. 'Tis a bit like fine wine, but it has a better bite.”
