Shark Quotes

Lines about sharks, real and metaphorical.

These shark quotes move between the literal — swimming in the ocean, never having been bitten despite close calls — and the figurative, like the dealmaking implied by 'Shark Tank' or a so-called shark agent. It's a mix worth a read About both worlds.

When you watch 'Shark Tank,' everything is about off-shore this, off-shore that.

Quotes by Scott Glenn

Quotes by RJ Cyler
