Quotes

  • Hate came in a maelstrom, and we called it several things&mdash;racism, pedophilia, justice, righteousness&mdash;but all those words were just ribbons and wrapping paper on a soiled gift that no one wanted to open.
  • I'm a detective, but nuns could stonewall Sam Spade into an asylum.
  • Vanity is a weakness. I know this. It's a shallow dependence on the exterior self, on how one looks instead of what one is. I know this well...Vanity and dishonesty may be vices, but they're also the first forms of protection I ever knew.
