Dexter Morgan quotes from Dexter

Dexter

For the first time, I feel that the future might hold something different for me. It's possible I'm just fooling myself, but I'm willing to take the risk.

Dexter

It's an odd sensation to be experiencing what might be called "hope" for the first time in my life. At the same time, I find myself weighing the benefits between electrocution versus lethal injection. But here I am.

Dexter

I never really got the whole superhero thing. But lately, it does seem we have a lot in common – tragic beginnings ... secret identities ... part human, part mutant ... [looking over at Doakes] archenemies.

Dexter

[voiceover] "The Dark Defender." No, Miami's too hot for all that leather.

Dexter

[to the man who killed his mother] You stole my life. I'm not the person I'm supposed to be because you took someone from me.

Dexter

[voiceover] The full force of the FBI, that's the last thing I need. I've got to make sure Lundy gets his man, after I figure out a way to erase the marina files, and make up with my girlfriend, and then maybe I'll tackle world hunger because things can't really get much worse.

Dexter

The voices are back. Excellent.

Dexter

[voiceover] Lila almost had me believing it was possible. To change, to become something else – as if that ever really happens. I've always known what I am. [pulls on gloves] If the glove fits ...

Dexter

[voiceover] A secret cabin in the middle of the Everglades? What more could a re-dedicated serial killer ask for?

Dexter

It's one thing to fuck with me another to fuck with [pauses] my ex-girlfriend who hates me. The Lila experiment is officially over.

Dexter

[on Lila] She had me fighting with myself the whole time. All that self-reflection is unhealthy.

Dexter

[after a disturbing dream] Nice. My subconscious isn't even bothering with symbolism.

Dexter

[to Rita] I'm sorry. I feel ... such regret, which is rare for me. Not that I don't mess up, I do, just never so stupendously. I had you, and them; I had us. So much to have, and to just demolish it. I honestly thought I was smarter than that. Rude awakening.

Dexter

I have to get to Jiminez, but a dead man tells no tales. A drunk, unstable woman very well may.

Dexter

[on Lila] Can't live with her, can't kill her.
