Should I write it as a quotation

Question

When you write something like bite your tongue meaning to keep quiet would it be best to write  "bite your tongue" since you don't literally mean it? -or does it matter as long as the sentence in its entirety makes it obvious which bite your tongue you're referring to?

Hi,

Don't use quotes.
