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.”
― Shida Ketzer, Killer Quill

“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
