The Lost Girls of Rome
Quotes from the Book
Like the whole range of other human emotions, it's just a matter of chemistry. We are all nothing but machines made of flesh.
I bambini non vedono la Morte. Perché la loro vita dura un giorno, da quando si svegliano a quando vanno a dormire.
God is silent. The devil whispers…
And you have to be careful with illusionists: sometimes evil deceives us by assuming the simplest form of things.
The dead would be buried, and over time everything would be absorbed. All that remained would be a vague memory in their souls, the waste left by an inevitable process of self-preservation.
Li chiamiamo 'mostri' perché li sentiamo lontani da noi, perché li vogliamo diversi. Invece ci assomigliano in tutto e per tutto, ma noi preferiamo rimuovere l'idea che un mostro simile sia capace di tanto. E questo per assolvere la nostra natura. Gli antropologi la definiscono 'spersonalizzazione del reo' e costituisce spesso il maggior ostacolo all'identificazione di un serial killer. Perché un uomo ha dei punti deboli e può essere catturato. Un mostro no.
