“There is no world without Verona walls,
But purgatory, torture, hell itself.
Hence banishèd is banished from the world,
And world's exile is death. Then ""banishèd""
Is death mistermed. Calling death ""banishèd"",
Thou cuttest my head off with a golden axe
And smilest upon the stroke that murders me.”

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) English playwright and poet

“One serial killer sends me a human head in a box, and I get all spooked; Go figure.”

“I believe the term ‘serial killer’ is highly misleading, in that it implicitly suggests to the general public that murder is the paramount object or motivating urge in the mind of the killer … They naturally attribute this motivation partly because they value human life above all else, and partly because, as their endless fascination with the subject suggests, they have a vague conception of murder as being somehow mystical, highly dramatic, or even a nebulously romantic experience, replete with unimaginable connotations of eroticism. And guilt for it must be paid for in full.”
