Biting Quote by L.C. Barlow
““When the shark stops biting, when the snake stops hissing, when the wolves stop eating their own like they've been taught to do, and they learn to desire something outside of these cycles and sinister instincts, that's something.' Roland put his hands together again on the top of a lily pad. 'It is better than gold. It's what people eat their hearts out for.””
