“I wondered if sometimes the difference between a psychopath in Broadmoor and a psychopath on Wall Street was the luck of being born into a stable, rich family.”

“Difference between rich and wealthy? Wall Street bankers are rich but they are no wealthy.Wealthy people are the ones writing their checks.”

“Being raised by a psychopath will do that to you.”

“Psychopaths... people who know the differences between right and wrong, but don't give a shit. That's what most of my characters are like.”

“Too bad. Family members hit you by accident. Psychopathic whores tend to come back for more.”

“To be sure, if psychopaths do recognize that actions that are harmful are proscribed, this raises a question about why psychopaths and control criminals provide different explanations for why it is wrong to hit or pull someone’s hair. Psychopaths offered conventional-type justifications (e.g., “it’s not the done thing” [the subjects were British]), whereas the nonpsychopathic criminals offered justifications based on the victim’s welfare.”
