Stabbing Quotes

“People always laugh at me when I tell them I’m scared of pencils, because they can’t fathom why anyone would fear a puncture wound or lead poisoning from a pencil, especially now that it’s impossible to get lead poisoning since they don’t actually contain lead.

Somehow knives don’t frighten me, even though they are the more obvious tool for both a real and imagined stabbing.”
