The psycholinguist Steven Pinker once wrote that he has “never met a person who is not interested in language.” That universal fascination with words and language is the spirit that pervades Paul McFedries’ book Quote, Words, Unquote. Using more than 1,200 quotations from more than 800 authors, the book illuminates nearly every aspect of language: neologisms and names; puns and proverbs; truth and lies; speaking and silence. The French priest and poet Joseph Roux said that “a fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit.” Consider Quote, Words, Unquote to be your personal collection of linguistic diamonds.

Serial Killer Quote of the Day: 365 Days of Serial Killers Uncut and In Their Own Words
This book will send chills up and down your spine. You’ve heard that before, but in this case, it’s true. Here, you will see for yourself how a serial killer’s mind works. You will hear them, in their own words, describe their despicable deeds. And you will learn how to kill someone without remorse, and even with a sense of fun and enjoyment. Over the past five years, johnny trevisani (no caps, by the way – all lowercase), has compiled the most extensive collection of serial killer quotes, certainly on the web, and probably on Earth. It offers a bizarre and disturbing glimpse into the warped minds of people who kill, and kill, and kill again. For the first time, trevisani’s opus, the Serial Killer Quote of the Day, is available as an ebook. It offers you a year’s worth of psychotic ramblings, lame justifications, and blow-by-blow descriptions of terrible crimes and the worst behavior of which humans are capable. You will be amazed, horrified, and fascinated. You may find the thoughts expressed uncomfortably similar to your own. You may dip into this book each morning, finding inspiration in nightmarish acts and deranged flights of fancy. You may stay up late at night, and read the whole thing in one sitting. The people in these pages are mass murderers, kidnappers, rapists and child molesters, mad bombers, necrophiliacs and cannibals. Some are totally insane, suffering from paranoid delusions. Some are all too normal, at least on the surface. They all destroyed countless lives – not just of the people they killed, but of the family and friends who lost their loved ones. These serial killers shoot people, stab them, strangle them, beat them to death, even blow them up. Sometimes they capture their victims and keep them alive for days, using them for sex, torturing them, toying with them the way a cat toys with a mouse. To these maniacs, murder is a compulsion, an addiction, an entertaining diversion, and sometimes just a means to an end. The monsters represented here include: – Jeffrey Dahmer – John Wayne Gacy – Charles Manson – The Son of Sam – Aileen Wuornos And more than 100 others. Check out these sample quotes: “I remember being told as a kid, you cut off the head and the body dies. The body is nothing after the head is cut off. Well, that’s not quite true. With a girl, there’s a lot left in the girl’s body without a head. Of course, the personality is gone.” – Ed Kemper —– “I know it ain’t normal for a person to go out and kill a girl just to have sex with her.” – Henry Lee Lucas —– “What’s one less person on the face of the Earth, anyway?” – Ted Bundy —– Each daily quote is accompanied by a mugshot, the number of people that killer is thought to have murdered, the years the killer was active, and the location. Each entry is also accompanied by a fact about the killer’s life, giving you a dark look into the events that shape minds like these. And every month, there is a “Serial Killer of the Month.” That killer is profiled more in-depth, presenting an intimate, up close and personal portrayal of someone you would never want to meet in real life. These serial killers will charm you. They will make you laugh. They will also terrify you. You will want to kill them yourself. You will wish that before they died, they had suffered more than they did. You will be outraged at the ones who are still alive, living it up in prison. Or worse, the ones who were let go, or escaped, and have since disappeared. And the ones who were never caught? They will make your skin crawl. If you are a person who enjoys true crime, as spoken by the people who did it, Serial Killer Quote of the Day is for you.
