Quotes by James Marshall (?)

“That's silly,' said Martha. 'Friends should always tell each other the truth.”

“This book is a work of fiction that was given to a pirate after it was retrieved from the future by exotically beautiful Eastern European girls.

(How? Ninjas.) If any similarity still exists, it's purely accidental (and suggests you live in an alternate dimension). Any lingering resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living, dead, or undead, is entirely coincidental and highly unlikely.”
