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
For the first time I could remember, I felt weak, woozy and stupid— like a human-being. Like a very small and helpless human-being.
Jeff Lindsay
When faced with people who have very limited conversational skills and no apparent desire to cultivate any it's always easier to simply go along.
Jeff Lindsay
...being torn apart by far too many loyalties that could not possibly live together in the same brain.
Jeff Lindsay
Could this be the Apocalypse ?
Jeff Lindsay
A reasonable being might think that he and I could find some common ground have a cup of coffee and compare our Passengers, exchange trade talk and chitchat about dismemberment techniques. But no: Doakes wanted me dead. And I found it difficult to share his point of view.
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
It's terrible to have to depend on someone else.
Jeff Lindsay
Because I am an inhuman monster, I tend to be logical.
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
I'm a very neat monster.
