Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend.
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
Never do anything yourself that others can do for you.
I specialize in murders of quiet, domestic interest.
These little grey cells. It is up to them.
If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.
But surely for everything you have to love you have to pay some price.
Everything that has existed, lingers in the Eternity.
One doesn't recognize the really important moments in one's life until it's too late.
Very few of us are what we seem.
Sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely , racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just being alive is a grand thing.
I know there's a proverb which that says 'To err is human,' but a human error is nothing to what a computer can do if it tries.
Everyone is a potential murderer-in everyone there arises from time to time thewish to kill-though not the will to kill.
But surely for everything you love you have to pay some price.
