Quotes edit see section history

• “If only I'd had a mother, I'm sure she would have told me there would be days like this. And the kind of mother who could say that with a straight face would probably have added, An idle mind is the devil's playground. I certainly didn't want to upset Hypothetical Mom, and I didn't want to go on the swing set with Satan either, so I got out of my chair and tidied up the lab.”

  Dexter Morgan

• “Wonderful news, a real clue: I was looking for an angry Catholic, which narrowed it down to only about seventy-five percent of Miami's population. I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate, but it was no good. All I could think of was how badly I wanted to tape him down and teach him about True Penance, the kind that comes in the Dark Confession Booth at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Dexter's Knife.”
