Quote by Ambrose Bierce
Edible, adj.: Good to eat, and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.
Summary
This quote humorously presents a satirical view on the concept of "edibility." It suggests that what may be considered edible and wholesome for one creature can be seen as repulsive or inappropriate for another. By illustrating a chain of consumption from a worm to a toad, to a snake, to a pig, to a man, and finally back to a worm, the quote reflects on the subjective nature of what is deemed acceptable and nourishing for different creatures, ultimately highlighting the cyclical and interconnected nature of life itself.
