Who knows what part we play in other people's dreams?
Personally, I'd rather grow old alone than in the company of anyone I've met so far. I don't experience myself as lonely, incomplete, or unfulfilled, but I don't talk about that much. It seems to piss people off--especially men. (Kinsey Millhone)
You kill people you hate or you kill in rage or you kill to get even, but you don't kill someone you're indifferent to.
There's a certain class of people who will do you in and then remain completely mystified by the depth of your pain.
Insecure people have a special sensitivity for anything that finally confirms their own low opinion of themselves.
There are days when none of us can bear it, but the good comes around again. Happiness is seasonal, like anything else. Wait it out. There are people who love you. People who can help.
You never know which people will affect your life.
People get careless when they're feeling safe.
God save us from the people who want to do what's best for us.
Some people can't see the color red. That doesn't mean it isn't there,
People talk about dysfunctional families; I've never seen any other kind.

There are laws for everything except the harm families do.
Through Kinsey, I get to test my ingenuity and my skills with imaginary firearms... all without leaving the safety of my office chair.
