laviviI was recently re-reading one of the Series of Unfortunate Events books - number eight, The Hostile Hospital. I came across an interesting quote.
***
[When Klaus is surrounded by villains, and all he has at his disposal is a rusty knife]
"Get back!" Klaus cried. "This knife is very sharp!"
"You can't kill all of us," the hook-handed man replied. "In fact, I doubt you have the courage to kill anyone."
"It doesn't take courage to kill someone," Klaus said. "It takes a severe lack of moral stamina."
***
In light of the last events of the sixth book, particularly the ones concerning Draco Malfoy...that is very interesting.
