81 " The whole point of wearing a disguise was to be seen wearing her. "
― Jeff Lindsay , Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Dexter, #1)
82 " And so Deb is the only person in the world who gives a rusty possum fart whether I live or die. "
83 " Every major city has a section like this one. If a piebald dwarf with advanced leprosy wants to have sex with a kangaroo and a teenage choir, he'll find his way here and get a room. When he's done he might take the whole gang next door for a cup of Cuban coffee and a medianoche sandwich. Nobody would care, as long as he tipped. "
84 " Rather than see me or have me touch it again, it died. "
85 " If only I was capable of love, how I would have loved Harry. "
86 " ...the idea of sex is no idea at all. Imagine doing those things—How can you? Where's your sense of dignity? "
87 " This was Miami, after all. People come home every day to find their TVs gone, their jewelry and electronics all taken away; their space violated, their possessions rifled, and their dog pregnant. "
88 " Talking to a shrink was out of the question, of course; I would frighten the poor thing to death, and he might feel honor bound to have me locked away somewhere. Certainly I could not argue with the wisdom of that idea. "
89 " Perhaps I should call the Guinness Book people. I wondered what the world record was for not being sure whether you committed a string of murders? "
90 " Hello there, officer, just out for a walk. Lovely evening for a dismemberment, isn't it? "

97 " I enjoy my work; sorry if that bothers you. "
98 " My God", I said. "You move so silently. So you have had ninja training.""I have two older brothers," Vince said. "It's the same thing."I held up the white paper bag and bowed. "Master, I bring a gift."He looked at the bag curiously. "My Buddha bless you, grasshopper. What is it?"I tossed him the bag. It hit him in the chest and slid to the floor. "So much for ninja training," I said. "
99 " ...in the best tradition of Miami watercraft, most of the other boaters seemed to be trying to kill me. I found that very relaxing. I was right at home. This is my country; these are my people. "
100 " Another huge new development was going up to improve life for all of us by turning trees and animals into cement and old people from New Jersey. "
