Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The Maelochs doth protest too much, methinks!

That's all I've got right now.

Of course the context of that is killing the lawyers is the first step in overthrowing the Government.

So the lawyers are a force against anarchy.

And in the second quote he is not saying "Bite me," he is saying "Carefully consider what I am about to say."

Not sure I know any Shakespeare quotes using the word "killjoy."
