“If you watch the wolf too hard, a mouse will bite you on the ankle”

“If a dog starts biting you, you can't kick it up the throat like it deserves. People always say "Oh dear, poor little dog, he was only trying to be friendly. That's the way he tries to be friendly, sniffing at your ankles and biting you, you cruel, wicked man."”

“She watches him as a cat would watch a mouse.”

“Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite.”

“A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs.”

“No wolf falters before the bite
So strike
No hawk wavers before the dive
Just strike”

“I noticed that once you realize
someone's watching you it's pretty hard not to find yourself
watching them back.”

“She offered herself to the big, bad wolf and didn't scream when he took the first bite.”

“Annabeth sat up and glared at her ankle.
"You HAD to break," she scolded it.
The ankle did not reply.”

“People could put up with being bitten by a wolf but what properly riled them was a bite from a sheep.”
