Kevin Hearne Quote

I don’t remember the whole thing, because it was very long, but Atticus recited it for me once, and there was a line that went like this: Cry ham hock and let slip the hogs of war! I know you might not agree, but for me that was the best thing Shakespeare ever wrote.You mean, Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war from Julius Caesar?No, I don’t think that’s it. There was ham in there; I’m sure he was talking about ham. They were going to battle hunger.I think you might have been hungry when you heard it, Oberon.
