I have to be very careful, however, because I have no intention of providing an excuse for this behavior. It's an attempt to explain how so many women come from backgrounds where the pressure to be a good mother is so severe that if they can't do it, something really snaps.

People are disturbed enough by serial killers, but the whole notion of female violence, particularly maternal violence - the idea of mothers who kill - really unnerves people.

It is the greatest truth of our age: Information is not knowledge.

Warfare against civilians must never be answered in kind. Terror must never be answered with terror.

The defenders of decent society and the disciples of degeneracy are often the same people.

Still, it's an interesting technique-leaving one person behind in order to find her or him somewhere else. And in someone else.

I have a grim outlook on the world, and in particular on humanity. Spent years denying it, but I am very misanthropic. And I live alone on a mountain for a reason.
