“Don't talk. Kill it."That might be the sweetest thing a woman's ever said to me on a first date.”
Richard Kadrey“It's more like how some people can't help but bring out the not necessarily righteous parts of your personality.

Richard Kadrey, Aloha from Hell“Nothing nice happens to murdered women.”
Richard Kadrey“As each wave of technology is released. It must be accompanied by a demand for new skills, new language.

Richard Kadrey“Don't drink too much.""When I can spell out your name in shot glasses, I'll stop.""I'll have to get a shorter name.""I'll have to forget how to spell it.”
Richard Kadrey, Kill the Dead“The dead think they can get away with anything because you'll feel sorry for them. If you play cards with the dead, make sure you deal and don't let them buy you drinks. They'll slip you a formaldehyde roofie and pry the gold fillings out of your teeth.”

Richard Kadrey, Sandman Slim“It doesn't matter if you and everyone else in the room are thinking it. You don't say the words. Words are weapons. They blast big bloody holes in the world. And words are bricks. Say something out loud and it starts turning solid. Say it loud enough and it becomes a wall you can't get through.”
Richard Kadrey, Kill the Dead“There are two Venices I know about and one of them is a hotel in Vegas. The other is an L.A. beach where pretty girls walk their dogs while wearing as little as possible and mutant slabs of tanned, posthuman beef sip iced steroid lattes and pump iron until their pecs are the size of Volkswagens.”
