More quotes by Jeff Lindsay
And here I always thought morality was useless.
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.

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
...my conscience has the same hard reality as a unicorn.
Jeff Lindsay
And once again I found myself wondering, as I drifted off to stunned and unbelieving sleep:How do these terrible things always happen 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.
Jeff Lindsay
Or was he saying, Hi! Wanna play? And I did. Of course I did.
Jeff Lindsay
It really is better to be lucky than to be good.
Jeff Lindsay
Life's only obligation, afterall, was to be interesting.
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
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.
Jeff Lindsay
She really did like me, the idiot.
Jeff Lindsay
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
I really am guilty, of many somethings, all of them lethal and very enjoyable and technically not quite legal.
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.
