The Silence of the Lambs

"I think perhaps you are not a moron."

"You require the dark side of human nature."

"Life is such a fleeting thing."

"You interest me as a person, Clarice."

"I do appreciate your honesty, Clarice."

"Mirrors are more fun than television."

"The world is cruel and disappointing to those who lack imagination."

"You're not insane, Clarice. You're not, are you?"

"A pertinent question, Clarice."

"I have no plans to call you, Clarice. You would not be in any danger from me."

"Everything about you is begging for attention."

"You've been so interested in my work, Clarice."

"I collected you."

"Rudeness is not something I tolerate."

"What is it that you truly desire?"

"You're so ambitious, Clarice."

"That's the same thing we observe in your case, Clarice."

"We covet what we see every day."

"Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned."

"People don't always say what they mean, do they, Clarice?"

"I ate his heart."

"Tell me, Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming?"

"I'm having an old friend for dinner."

"You know what you look like to me? You look like dinner."

"The world is rude, Miss Starling. But I am not."

"Discourtesy is unspeakably ugly to me."

"I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner."

"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be."

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

"Solitude is where we find our truest selves."
