->''With his poor childhood development record, even minor criticism would be experienced as a wound by Mugabe. He is a person who cannot tolerate difference. Being profoundly doubtful about himself, he is oversensitive to the idea that he is not as good as everyone else. People are either with him or against him. Differences of opinion are provocative and hurtful to Mugabe, who may think that compromise reduces him. The closer a compromise comes to his emotional self, the more he resists it.''

->"But you know, my dear Miss Conway, sometimes cruelty is not so much innate as due to the fact that imagination is slow in ripening. That is why, if you conceive of a grown man with the mentality of a child, you realize that the cunning and brutality of a lunatic may be quite unrealized by the
man himself. A lack of growth somewhere, that, I am convinced, is at the root of much of the cruelty and stupid brutality in the world today. One must put away childish things -" He shook his head and spread out his hands.\\

->''Paulie Skinner could sleep forever. This leave had been that long in coming. It'd been due after Gotham, but nooooo: they needed a napalm specialist in Honduras training Contras, and he was it. Finally then, home to Connecticut; mom; his old room; that old peach tree outside...as his mother tucks him in, the killer sighs. Slippering softly from the room, she says she'll bring him cocoa later, if he's still awake, and the killer says "Thanks, ma."''

->Does it truly matter what's ''real'' anymore, Brian? [[RealityWarper Because I don't think it does]]. I think the ''real'' world should be more fair. More just. It should make more sense... [[LongingForFictionland like television]]. That's the world ''I'' want to live in. A world where people get what's coming to them. Starting with ''you.''

->You could also argue that [[Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun Scaramanga’s]] whole island lair counts as an example of his arrested development. He explicitly states that he doesn’t own the island, despite his vast fortune. Instead, he lives there rent-free in return for the odd favour for his landlords, Red China. Of course, it seems like a technicality, given the millions he has likely invested, but it’s interesting that a man of Scaramanga’s age and wealth doesn’t actually own his own property. In effect, Scaramanga is living in the Bond villain equivalent of his parents’ basement. He gets a nice pad to crash in, and in return he has to occasionally take out the trash for his folks.

->I always look forward to hearing from [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS22E2VengeanceOnVaros}} Sil]], easily the strongest villainous creation to have stepped from the Creator/ColinBaker era...Sil indignantly exclaims that he is still young and I rather liked the idea that he genuinely is a repugnant little infant that has been let loose on the universe's economy, with all the bloodlust and anger that comes with it.

->[[TheCollector Fajo]] has to hit just the right tone: he has to have a sense of menace to him, but also a sense of playfulness. He has to hit somewhere in between a [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Trelane]] and a [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Dukat]], if you will. You need to see this... ''[[FauxAffablyEvil jolly]]'' [[FauxAffablyEvil sort of character]], this excitable little boy, almost, who is nevertheless a very dangerous and cunning individual, and I think [[[Creator/SaulRubinek Saul Rubinek]]] hit that note just right.
