clause deliberate knock people
I made a deliberate choice to write something people would enjoy, not knock people out with 'Boy, he can really put a clause together!'
people fake feelings
Whatever made me the way I am left me hollow, empty inside, unable to feel. It doesn't seem like a big deal. I'm quite sure most people fake an awful lot of everyday human contact. I just fake it all. I fake it very well, and the feelings are never there.
night people broken
I am unlovable...I have tried to involve myself in other people, in relationships, and even - in my sillier moments - in love. But it doesn't work. Something in me is broken or missing and sooner or later the other person catches me Acting or one of Those Nights comes along.
skills people desire
When faced with people who have very limited conversational skills and no apparent desire to cultivate any it's always easier to simply go along.
laughing people logic
Our universe is ruled by random whim, inhabited by people who laugh at logic.
jobs winning people
Have you noticed how difficult it is just to get along in the world? If you're no good at all in your job, people treat you badly and eventually you will be unemployed. And if you're a little better than competent, everyone expects miracles from you, every single time. Like most of life, it's a no-win situation. And if you dare to mention it, no matter how creatively you phrase your complaints, you are shunned as a whiner.
people killing refrain
Really now: If you can't get me my newspaper on time, how can you expect me to refrain from killing people?
people fake everyday
I'm quite sure more people fake an awful lot of everyday human contact. I just fake all of it." --Dexter
believe people dying
Dying makes everyone weaker, subject to painful insight, and not always insight into any kind of special truth - it's just the approaching end that makes people want to believe they are seeing something in the line of a great revelation.
stupid people mind
Anybody can be charming if they don't mind faking it, saying all the stupid, obvious, nauseating things that a conscience keeps most people from saying. Happily, I don't have a conscience. I say them.
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.
best quiet solitude wide work
I need quiet and solitude to work. Darkness is best. If I am wide awake, I can't write.
behaviour human knows life ourselves point rest view
I wanted to show life and to see ourselves and our behaviour through an outsider's eye... from the point of view of someone who knows nothing about being a human being... He doesn't have the feelings that the rest of us do.
It's a mistake to think that Dexter is nice.
