The Librarian and the Knife of Death Quotes

― Brian Yansky, The Librarian and the Knife of Death

“It wasn’t like I didn’t know what curiosity did to the cat. But before it killed him or her, what wonders the cat must have seen? Anyway, the truth is no one gets out of here alive. Maybe satisfying a curiosity wasn’t the worst way to go.”
― Brian Yansky, The Librarian and the Knife of Death
