The late hour is such a friend; it has been for so many years. There is not a soul around as I carry Riley downstairs and dump him in my trunk. It is good, for I am not in the mood to kill again, and murder, for me, is very much tied to my mood, like making love. Even when it is necessary.

There is no time for grief; there never is.

You can never hate strongly unless you have loved strongly.

The best art always comes unbidden.

Some loves have to be given up, others have to be forgotten. Strange as it may sound, if you think of me as a monster, but I can love most passionately. I do not think of myself as evil.

We all die. It's just a question of when and how horrible it's going to be.

For feeling, not events, is to me the essence of history.
