“Three kinds of people get talked about: The fascinating, the freaks and the nefarious.”

“This was an age of extremes, a fascinating century of freaks... but nobody loved it.”

“Lake, could you please stop sweet-talking the weapons? It's kind of freaking me out.”

“People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home. ”

“There is nothing to talk about" she said. "I'm just a freak that's all.”

“I’m not a sociopath or a freak (although I don’t suppose people who are sociopaths or freaks self-identify as such); I just don’t enjoy being with people. People, at least in my experience, rarely say anything interesting to each other. They always talk about their lives and they don’t have very interesting lives. So I get impatient. For some reason I think you should only say something if it’s interesting or absolutely has to be said.”
