More quotes by Jeff Lindsay
...my conscience has the same hard reality as a unicorn.
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
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
...being torn apart by far too many loyalties that could not possibly live together in the same brain.
Jeff Lindsay
Money to me had always been merely something the sheep used to show each other how wonderful they were.

Me, feeling. What a concept.

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.

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 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. 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?

Feeling - what authentic human fun!
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
A man can take only so much. Even a phony man like me.
Jeff Lindsay
you can’t use logic on human behavior.

What a terrible thing life can be.
Jeff Lindsay
I rose to my knees, mouth dry and heart pounding, and paused to finger a rip in my beautiful Dacron bowling shirt. I pushed my fingertip through the hole and wiggled it at myself. Hello, Dexter, where are you going? Hello, Mr. Finger. I don't know, but I'm almost there. I hear my friends calling.
