"On the sandy bank under the trees the leaves lie deep and so crisp that a lizard makes a great skittering if he runs among them."

Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck

"Poor Queequeg! When the ship was about half disembowelled, you should have stooped over the hatchway, and peered down upon him there; where, stripped to his woollen drawers, the tattooed savage was crawling about amid that dampness and slime like a green spotted lizard at the bottom of a well.  And a well, or an ice-house, it somehow proved to him, poor pagan ; where, strange to say, for all the heat of his sweatings, he caught a terrible chill which lapsed into a fever;"

Herman Melville Moby Dick, chapter 110

The Lizards also took an immense fancy to him, and when he grew tired of running about and flung himself down on the grass to rest, they played and romped all over him, and tried to amuse him in the best way they could. 'Every one cannot be as beautiful as a lizard,' they cried; 'that would be too much to expect. And, though it sounds absurd to say so, he is really not so ugly after all, provided, of course, that one shuts one's eyes, and does not look at him.' The Lizards were extremely philosophical by nature, and often sat thinking for hours and hours together, when there was nothing else to do, or when the weather was too rainy for them to go out.

"La vie m'a doublé, c'est pas régulier pour un pauvre lézard qui vit par hasard dans la société
mais la société j'veux pas m'en mêler, j'suis un type à part, une graine dananar"

Léo Ferré

«Dis-moi, mon âme, pauvre âme refroidie, que penserais-tu d'aller d'habiter Lisbonne?  Il doit y faire chaud, et tu t'y ragaillardirais comme un lézard". 

Baudelaire ("N'importe où hors du monde")
