More from Dexter

• I see their pain. On some level I even understand their pain. I just can’t feel their pain.
• People fake a lot of human interactions, but I feel like I fake them all, and I fake them very well. That’s my burden, I guess.
• She’s the only person in the world who loves me. I think that’s nice. I don’t have feeling about anything, but if I could have feelings at all, I’d have them for Deb.
• The problem with eating and driving, which I love to do, is not being able to have my hands on the wheel at the 10 and 2 position. It’s a matter of public safety.
• Remember this forever, you are my son, you are not alone, and you are loved.
