Fang Quotations
There is poison in the fang of the serpent, in the mouth of the fly and in the sting of a scorpion; but the wicked man is saturated with it.
Chanakya
I've been asked to say a couple of words about my husband, Fang. How about short and cheap?
Phyllis Diller
I read some, and then visited with people involved in this curious, exciting and somewhat misunderstood sub-culture. I met with a fang maker, who offered to fit me for an exquisite pair.
James Patterson
I have only ever read one book in my life, and that is White Fang. It's so frightfully good I've never bothered to read another.
Nancy Mitford
