“Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces.”

Kill the Dead
“Did I hurt your feelings again? Sorry. When this is all over I'll send some flowers to your inner child.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“Try not to sing too many sad songs for yourself. The universe already hates you. Self-pity isn't going to help.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“It doesn't matter if you and everyone else in the room are thinking it. You don't say the words. Words are weapons. They blast big bloody holes in the world. And words are bricks. Say something out loud and it starts turning solid. Say it loud enough and it becomes a wall you can't get through.” ― Richard Kadrey, Kill the Dead
“When you're born in a burning house, you think the whole world is on fire. But it's not.” ― Richard Kadrey, Aloha from Hell
“When you jump off a cliff, is it better to land on jagged rocks or burning lava? I know this one. The answer is obvious: It doesn't matter where you land. You just jumped off a cliff.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“All losers are romantics. It's what keeps us from blowing our brains out.” ― Richard Kadrey, Butcher Bird
“We must always look after our friends, even when they are foolish. Especially when they are foolish.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“I'm steel-toed boots in a ballet-slipper world.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“Being able to embrace contradictions is a sign of intelligence.Or insanity.” ― Richard Kadrey, Butcher Bird
“As sweet as it feels, I can't lie here forever curled up in a big ball of fuck-the-world.” ― Richard Kadrey, Kill the Dead
“When you're facing down multiple attackers, you always want to make the first move. It lets them know that you're ready to fight and that you're crazy enough to get the party started. One rule of thumb in fighting is that crazy can often overcome skill and numbers, because, while a trained fighter might actually enjoy going up against another trained fighter, no one really wants to wrestle with crazy. Crazy doesn't know when it's winning. And crazy doesn't know when to stop. If you can't pull off crazy, if, for instance, you're handcuffed in a small van with six armed assailants, stupid is a decent substitute for crazy.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“No hospitals, she says.I know.Where are we going?For ice cream. What's your favorite flavor?Fuck you.That's my favorite, too.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“Revenge is never what you think it's going to be. There's no pleasure and glory, and when it's done your grief remains. Once a man does the things you're talking about, he will never be the same, and he can never go back to who he was before. Worst of all, no matter how many enemies you kill, you are never satisfied. There is always one more who deserves it. When it becomes too easy to kill, it never ends.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“That's what Glocks are. High-precision killing machines that scream "Daddy Issues.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“I came ready to fight Genghis Khan and I walk in on a shut-in playing the biggest Dungeons and Dragons game in history.” ― Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim
“In the Tarot deck, the Fool is depicted as a young man about to step off a cliff into empty air. Most people assume that the Fool will fall. But we don't see it happen, and a Fool doesn't know that he's subject to the laws of gravity. Against all odds, he just might float.” ― Richard Kadrey
“No wonder Sherlock Holmes did all that coke. Math is hard.” ― Richard Kadrey
“He wore his fear on his skin for everyone to see.” ― Richard Kadrey, Butcher Bird
