Laith’s Quotes

“You people are polite to the point of it becoming worse than any direct insult. All this pussy-footing, mealy-mouthed bullshit, dancing around each other after-you-no-after-you-no-after-you!' He Waved his arms around as his voice rose to a shout. ' I hate this hopeless congealment of fucking good manners! Can't anyone just do something?”
