connection faces hours job realise single three
I know a lot of law officers, and every single one of them faces a moment - usually after about three hours on the job - when they realise that there's no connection between law and justice.
best quiet solitude wide work
I need quiet and solitude to work. Darkness is best. If I am wide awake, I can't write.
history human normal performed tv written
No TV show in history, no movie ever made - nothing you can imagine as being written or filmed or performed can turn a normal human being into a Dexter.
captured happened primitive societies turned women worst
If you look at the primitive societies that we know about, the worst thing that could have happened to you was to be captured and be turned over to the women.
considered
If you look at Victorian England, being a soldier was considered a noble profession.
rejected success
I didn't expect any success at all. I was rejected by every publisher in the world and every agent in town.
teacher smart school
The students we saw were all bright, attractive, and polite, and the teachers all seemed to be smart and dedicated, and I began to appreciate the benefits of a private school education. If only I'd had the opportunity to attend a place like this, who knows what I might have become? Perhaps instead of a mere blood-spatter analyst who slunk away at night to kill without conscience, I could have become a doctor, or a physicist, or even a senator who slunk away at night to kill without conscience. It was terribly sad to think of all my wasted potential.

And what did you do last night, Dexter? Oh, I played with my dolls while a friend chopped up my sister.
ideas wonder made
It revealed a cruelty that really made one wonder if the universe was such a good idea after all.
beer doors perception
the faster it ran away from me. And I found myself reasoning that perhaps one more beer would unlock the doors of perception,
mean knowing stories
Of course, having information to use is one thing. Knowing what it means and how to use it is a different story.
reality unicorn hard
...my conscience has the same hard reality as a unicorn.
interesting human-behavior humans
Perhaps because I'll never be one, humans are interesting to me.
