Quotes About Predator

THE ALLIGATOR IS AN ANACHRONISM THAT CAN EAT YOU!
~ Karen Russell
Los Angeles, brutal claustrophobic basin of delusion and ripoff, clutter, eerie, sticky, horrible. They came, they saw and wend blind. O hallucination of urban gray slabs. . . . Poor ruined sunsore and sadness for demented City of Angels, of white torment and hideous albino predator birds.
~ Kate Braverman
Take, for example, the African jungle, the home of the cheetah. On whom does the cheetah prey? The old, the sick, the wounded, the weak, the very young, but never the strong. Lesson: If you would not be prey, you had better be strong.
~ G. Gordon Liddy
A little girl hitting a violent predator with a log is hand-to-hand combat and that's honest. A man, who is represented by a hand, shooting a series of unknown henchmen is dishonest.
~ Gabrielle Zevin
They had terrorized this poor, defenseless beauty. He would make them rue it. As for Kate, after all she had been through, she had impressed him with her self-possession, to say nothing of her fiery spirit. She had stood there ready to battle him like some spunky little terrier barking at a wolf, aye, and throwing the greater predator into temporary confusion with her unexpected show of ferocity. Though petite of build, she was large in courage, a little lady of intrepid spirit
~ Gaelen Foley
It is a known fact that the sheep that give us steel wool have no natural enemies.
~ Gary Larson
Predatory animals usually devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. This applies equally to a political movement, a government, a campaign, a career, a marriage, a performance, a fortune, or a religion. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment.
~ Gavin de Becker
As the most powerful people in history, we have climbed to the top of the world food chain, so to speak. Facing not one single enemy or predator who poses to us any danger of consequence, we've found the only prey left: ourselves.
~ Gavin de Becker
Coleridge once jotted in a notebook, 'The Prince of Darkness is a Gentleman.' What is so beguiling about a specialist predator is the idea of an intimacy with the Beast! For if, originally, there was one particular Beast, would we not want to fascinate him as he fascinated us? Would we not want to charm him, as the angels charmed the lions in Daniel's cell?
~ Bruce Chatwin
1.-Un pez atado pertenece a quien lo ató. 2.-Un pez suelto es presa para cualquiera que lo atrape.
~ Herman Melville
For, thought Starbuck, I am here in this critical ocean to kill whales for my living, and not to be killed by them for theirs;
~ Herman Melville
How obvious it is it, too, that this necessity for the whale's rising exposes him to all the fatal hazards of the chase.
~ Herman Melville
Song of the Paddlers Dip, dip, in the brine our paddles dip, Dip, dip, the fins of our swimming ship! How the waters part, As on we dart; Our sharp prows fly, And curl on high, As the upright fin of the rushing shark, Rushing fast and far on his flying mark! Like him we prey; Like him we slay; Swim on the foe, Our prow a blow!
~ Herman Melville
The butterfly with a wounded wing glided clumsily down to settle on a leaf by the spider's web. The spider knew he was there, but she was drowsy and ignored him for a time. The butterfly waited patiently, knowing that a hastily aroused spider tends to be bad tempered.
~ Howard L. Myers
Vampires smiled for many reasons, but when a vampire male smiled at you from this distance with that kind of look in his eyes it was done for one purpose only: to impress. Look at my big teeth. I'm an apex predator. My genetic material is awesome.
~ Ilona Andrews
He stepped forward. "We've been together a year. How many times have you seen me hunt?" Umm. "How many times, Kate?" "None." "That's because I don't hunt. I'm a male lion. I weigh six hundred pounds. Do you really expect me to scamper through the brush after deer? When I want a steak, I want a damn steak.
~ Ilona Andrews
Because that's what it would catch in the wild, a boar, right? I can't wait to see a pack of bunnycats take down a wild hog with those short tiny legs. Wouldn't the boar be surprised? Everybody was a comedian. May be if I oink loud enough, it'll leap across the beam and try to devour me.
~ Ilona Andrews
When a lion stalks a herd, he sneaks in close, lies down, and surveys them to choose his victim. He takes his time. The deer or buffalo have no idea he's near. He finds his prey and then he explodes from his hiding place and grabs it. Even if another, perfectly serviceable animal ends up within his reach, he isn't going to alter his course. He has chosen, and he would rather go hungry than change his mind.
~ Ilona Andrews
Oh, Gods. His eyes shone with want and predatory satisfaction. The name's William. It's a common mistake.
~ Ilona Andrews
You don't want to fall into the trip of doing a 'Predator' story every week for the rest of our lives just because it gets good numbers.
~ Chris Hansen
A street thug and a paid killer are professionals - beasts of prey, if you will, who have dissociated themselves from the rest of humanity and can now see human beings in the same way that trout fishermen see trout.
~ Willard Gaylin
Don't play dead with a vulture. That's exactly what they want.
~ Kevin Nealon
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
~ Steven Wright
I used to have terrible nightmares about Ellony. She would come to my window and slide through the glass like a mist. She came to steal my breath, an ugly, monstrous sea woman. Her skin was greeny-white and she had a mouth full of hooked fangs like a predator fish.
~ Storm Constantine
