Quotes by Daniel A. Bell (?)

“Remorse is alien to me. I have a penchant for deceit. I am generally free of entangling and irrational emotions. I am strategic and canny, intelligent and confident…. Yet I am not motivated or constrained by the same things that most good people are…. [As a child], I envisioned the people in my life as robots that turned off when I wasn’t directly interacting with them…. I have never killed anyone, but I have certainly wanted to. I may have a disorder, but I am not crazy. In a world filled with gloomy, mediocre nothings populating a go-nowhere rat race, people are attracted to my exceptionalism like moths to a flame.142”
