Thomas Harris
Life's too slippery for books, Clarice anger appears as lust, lupus presents as hives.
Thomas Harris
A census taker tried to quantify me once. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a big Amarone. Go back to school, little Starling.
Thomas Harris
Evil's just destructive? Then storms are evil, if it's that simple. And we have fire, and there there's hail. Underwriters lump it all under 'Acts of God.
Thomas Harris
He was numb except for dreading the loss of numbness.
Thomas Harris
The very air had screams smeared on it. He flinched from the noise in this silent room.
Thomas Harris
Intense fear comes in waves the body can't stand it for long at a time.
Thomas Harris
I found, and find, the scrutiny of Dr. Lecter uncomfortable, intrusive, like the humming of your thoughts when they x-ray your head.
Thomas Harris
Nothing made me happen. I happened.
Thomas Harris
Nothing makes us more vulnerable than loneliness except greed.
