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.

More quotes by Jeff Lindsay
This was just no fun. I wanted my brain back.
Jeff Lindsay
Dying makes everyone weaker, subject to painful insight, and not always insight into any kind of special truth - it's just the approaching end that makes people want to believe they are seeing something in the line of a great revelation.
Jeff Lindsay
I often find myself in situations where it seems to me like everyone else has read the instruction book
Jeff Lindsay
I'm a very neat monster.
Jeff Lindsay
Life's only obligation, afterall, was to be interesting.
Jeff Lindsay
First things first has always been my motto, mostly because it makes absolutely no sense - after all, if first things were second or third, they wouldn't be first things, would they? Still, cliches exist to comfort the feeble minded, not to provide any actual meaning.
Jeff Lindsay
I am unlovable...I have tried to involve myself in other people, in relationships, and even - in my sillier moments - in love. But it doesn't work. Something in me is broken or missing and sooner or later the other person catches me Acting or one of Those Nights comes along.

I looked around the store and what I saw was not very encouraging. There were rows and rows of violent toys...aisle after aisle of training devices for recreational slaughter.

Me, feeling. What a concept.
Jeff Lindsay
I don't know if you have noticed this, but it is quite possible for two human beings to have a conversation in which one or both parties involved has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
Jeff Lindsay
Life teaches us that human thought almost never walks hand in hand with logic, and it is usually counterproductive to raise the point.
Jeff Lindsay
And here I always thought morality was useless.
Jeff Lindsay
I waved to everybody. Some of them even waved back. They knew me, had seen me go by before, always cheerful, a big hello for everybody. He was such a nice man. Very friendly. I can’t believe he did those horrible things . . .
Jeff Lindsay
Perhaps because I'll never be one, humans are interesting to me.
Jeff Lindsay
Because I am an inhuman monster, I tend to be logical.
Jeff Lindsay
Really now: If you can't get me my newspaper on time, how can you expect me to refrain from killing people?
Jeff Lindsay
The mind picks some very bad times to take a walk doesn't it?
Jeff Lindsay
Was insanity really easier to accept than unconsciousness?
Jeff Lindsay
It's terrible to have to depend on someone else.
Jeff Lindsay
