How to Be Dead in a Year of Snakes Quotes

“The world is full of murder
and words are usually
the first to go. A life runs
its course then full-stops.
There is nothing as pointed
as bullets used for punctuation
and no betrayal like a word
used for ill gain.
Those whose mouths
are filled with darkness
will spend their breaths
repeating alibis and verdicts.”
― Chris Tse, How to Be Dead in a Year of Snakes
