Quotes by Shida Ketzer (?)

“Two kinds of people made the most dangerous foes: those too foolish to fathom the full consequences of their actions or inactions, and those too petty to care. In that, he was a double threat.”
― Shida Ketzer, Killer Quill

“The slate clouds loomed above like colossal millstones poised to crush every soul, set to the tyrannical drumbeats thundering in the distance.”

“Quill did not kill just to take a life. It was never personal. Killing was her profession, what she did best. The world needed a consummate assassin as much as a master cobbler. Anyone could kill, given the right motive and opportunity. Being the world’s best assassin was not just about killing, but killing to perfection.”
― Shida Ketzer, Killer Quill
