More quotes by Jeff Lindsay

No wonder our world was such a mean and violent place...if we teach children that killing is fun, can we really be surprised if now and then someone is smart enough to learn?
Jeff Lindsay
Our universe is ruled by random whim, inhabited by people who laugh at logic.
Jeff Lindsay
It's terrible to have to depend on someone else.
Jeff Lindsay
In its own way the kiss had been an act of murder.
Jeff Lindsay
Anybody can be charming if they don't mind faking it, saying all the stupid, obvious, nauseating things that a conscience keeps most people from saying. Happily, I don't have a conscience. I say them.
Jeff Lindsay
I know family comes first, but shouldn't that mean after breakfast?
Jeff Lindsay
The key to a happy life is to have accomplishments to be proud of and purpose to look forward to, and at the moment I had both. How wonderful it was to be me.
Jeff Lindsay
A man can take only so much. Even a phony man like me.
Jeff Lindsay
