Owl and the Japanese Circus Quotes

“I’m an archaeologist who likes cats, not a cat burglar who likes old stuff.”
― Kristi Charish, Owl and the Japanese Circus

“I hate this espionage shit. That’s why I’m into antiquities. More money, and I get blindfolded a lot less.”
― Kristi Charish, Owl and the Japanese Circus

“It’s the money. A lot of money. And lower risk than being a real thief. Truth be told, most governments don’t really care what happens to their artifacts—not enough to arrest anyone . . . or shoot. Except for Egypt, that is, but with the right palms greased, it’s a moot point. After three revolutions, the tourism industry is shot and they’re hurting for cash. Another perk is I actually get credit for the work I do—not screwed over by some talentless dick of a postdoc who spends more time trying to stare down my shirt than dig . . .”
