Politics Quote by Rick Riordan
““The point is, this rope is even better! I call it Andskoti, the Adversary. It is woven with the most powerful paradoxes in the Nine Worlds – Wi-Fi with no lag, a politician’s sincerity, a printer that prints, healthy deep-fried food and an interesting grammar lecture!’ ‘Okay, yeah,’ I admitted. ‘Those things don’t exist.””
