Quotes edit see section history

  • “Have you ever noticed that every now and then you'll overhear an amazingly clear declarative sentence when you're out in public, spoken with such force and purpose that you absolutely yearn to know what it means, because it is just so forceful and crystalline? And you want to follow along behind whoever just spoke, even though you don't know them, just to find out what that sentence means and how it would affect the lives of the people involved? I felt like that now: I had no idea at all what she was talking about, but I really wanted to know.”
    Dexter
  • “I mean, I could see that it was a problem for her-what to do with the homicidal adopted brother? After all, he was pleasant, remembered birthdays, and gave really good presents; a productive member of society, a hardworking and sober guy-if he slipped away and killed bad people now and then, was it really such a big deal?On the other hand, she was in a profession that generally frowned on that kind of thing. And technically, it was supposed to be her job to find people like me and escort them to a reserved seat in Old Sparky. I could see that it might pose something of a professional dilemma, especially when it was her brother who was forcing the issue.”
    Dexter
  • “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 comforst the feeble-minded, not to provide any meaning.”
    Dexter
  • “...surprising, really, that an organization like AOL fails to ask simple and vital questions, like, "Where would you hide if Dexter was after you?"”
    Dexter
  • “I was just stuck in traffic, trying to get to work, and waiting for something awful to happen. I suppose that is a terrific description of the human condition, but I had always thought I was immune.”
    Dexter
  • “After all, where was the point? Okay, Jennifer cut off pieces of her leg. So what? Why bother inflicting enormous pain on yourself when sooner or later Life would certainly get around to doing it for you? What did it prove? What happened next?”
    Dexter Morgan
  • “Her faith in me was really quite touching, especially considering there was no reason for it, beyond the fact that I had given her a completely phony smile. It made me wonder if a career change was in order —perhaps I should sell cars, or even run for president”
    Dexter Morgan
  • “There are few things in the world that make me feel more clueless than a woman's tears. I know that I am supposed to do something comforting and then go slay whatever dragon caused the crying fit, but it has been my experience, in my limited dealings with women, that the tears never come when they should, and they are never about what you might think, and consequently you are reduced to truly stupid options like patting her head and saying, “There there” in the hopes that at some point she will let you in on what the display is actually about.”
    Dexter Morgan
