“I am not shy about admitting my modest talents. For example, I am happy to admit that I am better than average at clever remarks, and I also have a flair for getting people to like me. But to be perfectly fair to myself, I am ever-ready to confess my shortcomings, too, and a quick round of soul-searching forced me to admit that I had never been any good at all at breathing water. As I hung there from the seat belt, dazed and watching the water pour in and swirl around my head, this began to seem like a very large character flaw.” PeopleSoulCharacterSeemsWaterTalentExampleReadySmartFairsRoundsAverageCleverLike MeBreathingSeatsShyFlawsHungModestBeltsRemarksSoul SearchingShortcomingsAdmittingFlairSwirlsDazedSeat BeltsCharacter Flaws Author:Jeff Lindsay

“Happily for me, ninety-nine percent of all human life is spent simply repeating the same old actions, speaking the same tired clichés, moving like a zombie through the same steps of the dance we plodded through yesterday and the day before and the day before. It seems horribly dull and pointless-but it really makes a great deal of sense. After all, if you only have to follow the same path every day, you don't need to think at all. Considering how good humans are at any mental process more complicated than chewing, isn't that the best for everybody?” IfsThinkingNeedsHumansSeemsActionMovingLife IsProcessDealsStepsPathPercentTiredComplicatedYesterdayNineHuman LifeDullConsideringNinetyZombiePointlessChewingNinety Nine Book:Double Dexter: Dexter Morgan (6) Source: Double Dexter: Dexter Morgan (6)
