Jeffrey Dahmer Quotes

“I couldn't find any meaning for my life when I was out there, I'm sure as hell not going to find it in here. This is the grand finale of a life poorly spent and the end result is just overwhelmingly depressing.

It's just a sick, pathetic, wretched, miserable life story, that's all it is. How it can help anyone, I've no idea.”

“I don't care if I live or die. Go ahead and kill me.”

“I don't even know if I have the capacity for normal emotions or not because I haven't cried for a long time. You just stifle them for so long that maybe you lose them, partially at least. I don't know.”

I think the only thing I'm capable of is destroying I'm sick and tired of being destructive. What worth is life if you can't be helpful to someone?”

“I think in some way I wanted it to end, even if it meant my own destruction.”

“I've got to start eating at home more.”

“If a person doesn't think there is a God to be accountable to, then what's the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That's how I thought anyway.

I always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we all just came from the slime. When we, when we died, you know, that was it, there is nothing.”

This was a case to tell the world that I did what I did, but not for reasons of hate. I hated no one. I knew I was sick or evil or both.

Now I believe I was sick. The doctors have told me about my sickness, and now I have some peace. I know how much harm I have caused.

Thank God there will be no more harm that I can do. I believe that only the Lord Jesus Christ can save me from my sins. I ask for no consideration.”

Death would be preferable to what I am facing. I just feel like imploding upon myself, you know? I just want to go somewhere and disappear.”
