Hark! A Vagrant Quotes

“Blasted spam pigeons!”
― Kate Beaton, Hark! A Vagrant

“The Nautilus was actually attacked by a 'poulpe,' which is an octopus, but the description sounds something like a squid, and it's usually translated as 'squid.' Does that make a difference? If a creature from the depths were attacking your ship, would you really care if it was an octopus or a squid, or would you just pull the hatch down over your head and try to remember how to pray? There are no atheists in foxholes, or in submarines beset by many-legged monsters.”
