A man can take only so much. Even a phony man like me.
Jeff Lindsay
Perhaps because I'll never be one, humans are interesting to me.
Jeff Lindsay
After a long moment I closed the freezer door. I wanted to lie down and press my cheek against the cool linoleum. Instead I reached out with my little finger and flipped the Barbie's head. It went thack thack against the door. I flipped it again. Thack thack. Whee. I had a new hobby.

And here I always thought morality was useless.
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
Because I am an inhuman monster, I tend to be logical.
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?
Jeff Lindsay
Was insanity really easier to accept than unconsciousness?
Jeff Lindsay
I know family comes first, but shouldn't that mean after breakfast?
Jeff Lindsay
It was such an unexpected and genuine smile that if I only had a soul I'm sure I would have felt quite guilty.
Jeff Lindsay
Or was he saying, Hi! Wanna play? And I did. Of course I did.
Jeff Lindsay
It's terrible to have to depend on someone else.
Jeff Lindsay
I had killed our careful relationship by driving my tongue through its heart and pushing it off a cliff.
Jeff Lindsay
The mind picks some very bad times to take a walk doesn't it?
