Dangers Quote by J.Z. Colby

“There are a million things out there that can kill you, and about half of them are invisible. If you’re going to stick your body parts into them just to see what will happen, even after I’ve warned you about them, then you won’t live long, and you certainly can’t work on my ship.” quote by J.Z.
