Alligator Quotes

Diane Ackerman quote: "Alligators have beautiful undulating skin, which feels dense,..."
Alligators have beautiful undulating skin, which feels dense, spongy, solid, like the best eraser. Diane Ackerman
IGNORANCE I didn’t know love would make me this crazy, with my eyes like the river Ceyhun carrying me in its rapids out to sea, where every bit of shattered boat sinks to the bottom. An alligator lifts its head and swallows the ocean, then the ocean floor becomes a desert covering the alligator in sand drifts. Changes do happen. I do not know how, or what remains of what has disappeared into the absolute. I hear so many stories and explanations, but I keep quiet, because I don’t know... Rumi
Writing fantasy lets me imagine a great deal more than, say, writing about alligators, and lets me write about places more distant than Florida, but I can tell you things about Florida and alligators, let you make the connection all on your own. Terry Brooks
She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. Mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. Alligators slid through it, silent death. It was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot. And it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. Where an eagle could soar like a king. There was no beauty... Nora Roberts
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "Most of the time you're ass deep in alligators."
Most of the time you're ass deep in alligators. Laurell K. Hamilton
Mary Oliver quote: "Far off in the red mangroves an alligator has heaved himself..."
Far off in the red mangroves an alligator has heaved himself onto a hummock of grass and lies there, studying his poems. Mary Oliver
A few alligators are naturally of the vicious type and inclined to resent it when you prod them with a stick. You can find out which ones these are by prodding them. Will Cuppy
Crocodiles, you will say, are stationary. Mr. Waterton tells me that the crocodile does not change,—that a cayman, in fact, or an alligator, is just as good for riding upon as he was in the time of the Pharaohs. That may be; but the reason is that the crocodile does not live fast—he is a slow coach. I believe it is generally understood among naturalists that the crocodile is a blockhead. It is my own impression that the Pharaohs were also blockheads. Thomas de Quincey
P. G. Wodehouse quote: "Stimulated by the juice, I believe, men have even been known..."
Stimulated by the juice, I believe, men have even been known to ride alligators. P. G. Wodehouse
It was a large room, heavily outfitted with the usual badly ventilated furnaces, rows of bubbling crucibles, and one stuffed alligator. Things floated in jars. The air smelled of a limited life expectancy. Terry Prachett
Unoka went into an inner room and soon returned with a small wooden disc containing a kola nut, some alligator pepper and a lump of white chalk. "I have kola," he announced when he sat down, and passed the disc over to his guest. "Thank you. He who brings kola brings life. But I think you ought to break it," replied Okoye passing back the disc. "No, it is for you, I think," and they argued like this for a few moments before Unoka accepted the honor of breaking the kola. Okoye, meanwhile, took... Chinua Achebe
No other library anywhere, for example, has a whole gallery of unwritten books - books that would have been written if the author hadn't been eaten by an alligator around chapter 1, and so on. Atlases of imaginary places. Dictionaries of illusory words. Spotter's guides to invisible things. Wild thesauri in the Lost Reading Room. A library so big that it distorts reality and has opened gateways to all other libraries, everywhere and everywhen... Terry Prachett
If all I can say is I'm not in this swamp, I'm not in this swamp then there is not a rope in front of me and there is not an alligator behind me and there is not a girl sitting at the edge eating a hot dog and if I believe that, then dying would be the only answer because then Death couldn't come and say Peachy to me anymore and after all she has a brother who believes in hope. Tori Amos
Dave Van Ronk quote: "You can be a mighty sailor, wrestling with an alligator. ..."
You can be a mighty sailor, wrestling with an alligator. Romping through the swamp. Dave Van Ronk
Walt Kelly quote: "Albert made of solid alligator—he heavy."
Albert made of solid alligator—he heavy. Walt Kelly
