"It was a fine, bright evening and I could feel a murder coming on. Since it was to be my first show I decided, by way of inspiration, to pay a visit to the site of the immortal Ratcliffe Highway murders. More than half a century ago, on this sacred spot, an entire family was despatched into eternity by a man named John Williams. A man Thomas De Quincey describes as an artist of exquisite skill. And yet now the site of his greatest work was defiled by a seller of second-had clothes."

The radio said he was dead. So what does it feel like? Killing a man. Beating a man to death with your bare hands. No. It is a subject I have much interest in. You're the first person I've ever met who has killed somebody. So... what does it feel like to kill a man? I want to know what it feels like to kill a man."
— Esmarelda Villalobos, Pulp Fiction
Trash: Do you ever wonder about all the different ways of dying? You know, violently? And wonder, like, what would be the most horrible way to die?
Spider: I try not too think about dying too much.

Literature
Love is a simple thing,
Love is a poison ring,
Shiny as a lizard's tongue,
Quiet as a man who's hung,
Love is so great and grand,
Soft as a mummy's hand,
Love is the raven's croak,
Sweet as the poison oak,
Brighter than a coffin nail,
Gay as a widow's wail.
Love makes an old heart stop.
Love is the mating call,
When you've sealed him in the wall,
Love is a simple thing.

"Mainly, I have clients, private collectors who are into what I do, and I take requests. They ask for some specific image, and I create it. Images you can't get with just a camera, but that they carry around in their heads. They bring me their sick shit, and I make it visible."
"Perverts?" I asked.
"Yeah. Some of them, sure. But not all. Some of them are just... Some of them just need to see with their eyes these images that they've already seen in their mind's eye. Sometimes, it seems like I'm a sort of therapist, or midwife. They might want a photorealistic unicorn, or a woman might want a photo of herself, naked, riding a unicorn, or—"
"A photo of herself fucking that unicorn," I said.
"Pretty much," she nodded.

Bring me red roses and make me swoon;
Take me for a boat ride in the Black Lagoon.
A picnic in the graveyard is my heart's delight,
And I love to go out walking on the Devil's Night.
Kiss me at midnight where the wolfsbane blooms,
Promise me your heart in ancient airless rooms.
It isn't all that hard to make a love connection,
I only need a little sweetness and a resurrection.

If you wanna make it to first base, somebody better lose their face.
If lots of co-eds die tonight, then second base may be in sight.
If third base is your final goal, somebody's gotta lose their soul —
And if Cthulhu rises out of the foam, baby, you'll be taking me home.
You buy the popcorn, I'll raise the stakes,
And if you thought this plot was fun the first time...wait 'til you see the remake.
It doesn't take that much to dazzle and impress me —
Just take me to a graveyard before you undress me.
You get the picture? Come on, let's go.
We'll make our bodies count each moment at the late night picture show!

I like nightmares waking up in a cold cold sweat
I like nightmares making hair stand up on my neck
My heart is pumping
I'm runnin' for my life
I'm scared to death and yet...

I'm afraid I don't see things like you do. I mean it: I'm afraid. What if the things I find beautiful drive you mad? What if they hollow you out like clever little squirrels getting nuts for the winter, except the nuts are your eyes, and winter is, I don't know, maybe the Rapture or something? And I'm just smiling while your face gets ripped apart because I think it's beautiful? These things worry me sometimes, when I'm not looking at the night sky. So I spend a lot of time looking at the night sky, and not looking at your face and thinking about squirrels.

Pintsize: On the contrary! They give me hope for humanity! ... Think about it: Rule 34 is the ultimate expression of human creativity! Creating porn of everything the human mind can conceive is an endeavor on par with colonizing the stars or tapping into the secrets of the universe!
Winslow: I think you just like looking at pooping catgirls.
Pintsize: Michelangelo liked looking at nude men, and look what came of that.
