More quotes by Jeff Lindsay

Jeff Lindsay
I think people understand things different when they get older. It’s not a question of getting soft, or seeing things in the gray areas instead of black and white. I really believe I’m just understanding things different. Better.
Jeff Lindsay
I thought about the nice clothes that I always wore. Well of course I did. I took pride in being the best dressed monster in Dade County.

IN MY LIFELONG STUDY OF HUMAN BEINGS, I HAVE FOUND that no matter how hard they might try, they have found no way yet to prevent the arrival of Monday morning. And they do try, of course, but Monday always comes, and all the drones have to scuttle back to their dreary workaday lives of meaningless toil and suffering.
Jeff Lindsay
I'm a very neat monster.
