161 " What doesn't kill me better run. "
― Leigh Bardugo , Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1)
162 " Kaz Brekker didn’t need a reason. Those were the words whispered on the streets of Ketterdam, in the taverns and coffeehouses, in the dark and bleeding alleys of the pleasure district known as the Barrel. The boy they called Dirtyhands didn’t need a reason any more than he needed permission – to break a leg, sever an alliance, or change a man’s fortunes with the turn of a card. "
163 " Music. Numbers. Equations. They’re not like words. They … they don’t get mixed up. "
164 " Let's start with something shiny - Kaz Brekker "
165 " You‘re better than waffles, Matthias Helvar. "
166 " You draw on me again, I’ll break both your wrists, and you’ll have to hire someone to help you take a piss. "
167 " forg "
168 " What makes you think we can do this? There will be other teams out there, trained soldiers and spies, people with years of experience.""This isn't a job for trained soldiers and spies. It's a job for thugs and thieves. Van Eck knows it, and that's why he brought us in. "
169 " For Saints’ sake, Inej thought as her cheeks heated. She’d lost most of her modesty during her time with the Menagerie, but really, there were limits. What would Kaz say if she suddenly stripped down and started washing herself in front of him? He’d probably tell me not to drip on the desk, she thought with a scowl. "
170 " Kaz took a handkerchief from his coat pocket and carefully wiped his face clean. He thought of Inej lying still on the table, her slight weight in his arms."Hold him," he told Jesper and the Fjerdan. Kaz flicked his coat sleeve, and an oyster shucking knife appeared in his hand. At any given time he had at least two knives stashed somewhere in his clothes. He didn't even count this one, really -- a tidy, wicked little blade. "
171 " He's a person like any other, driven by greed and blood and pain. You should understand that better than anyone. "
172 " Chaos will come and I will be its master. "
173 " Our hopes rest with you, Mister Brekker. If you fail, all the world will suffer for it.”“Oh, it’s worse than that, Van Eck. If I fail, I don’t get paid.”The look of disgust on the merch’s face was something that deserved its own DeKappel oil to commemorate it.“Don’t look so disappointed. Just think how miserable you would have been to discover this canal rat had a patriotic streak. You might actually have had to uncurl that lip and treat me with something closer to respect.”“Thank you for sparing me that discomfort "
174 " Only girls? No, not only girls. "
175 " Kaz leaned back. "What's the easiest way to steal a man's wallet?""Knife to the throat?" asked Inej."Gun to the back?" said Jesper."Poison in his cup?" suggested Nina."You're all horrible," said Matthias. "
176 " No mourners. No funerals. Among them, it passed for 'good luck. "
177 " She'd laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night, he would have. It terrified him. "
178 " It's not natural for women to fight.""It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, and yet there you stand. "
179 " When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing. "
180 " I'm a business man," he'd told her. "No more, no less.""You're a thief, Kaz.""Isn't that what I just said? "
