Quote by Ambrose Bierce
Pig, n. An animal (Porcus omnivorus) closely allied to the human race by the splendor and vivacity of its appetite, which, however, is inferior in scope, for it sticks at pig.
Summary
This quote humorously defines a pig as an animal that closely resembles humans in terms of their voracious appetite. It suggests that while humans desire and indulge in various types of food, a pig's appetite is limited to sticking to only consuming pigs themselves. The quote cleverly highlights the insatiable nature of a pig's hunger while commenting on how humans surpass them in terms of culinary preferences.
