Full of love, artistic killing

In fact, desire is like a shadow and never leaves. MY GOD, please grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change. Please give me the courage to change what I can. And give me the wisdom to tell the difference between the two.
-----"Mr. Brooks"

I seem to be more interested in movies about detachment of desire than movies about love.

I always thought that when a person is lustful, it is difficult for him to have love.
When a person is full of love, his desire will be precipitated, and even sinking
. I have always believed that the essence of love is the sinking of this desire.

What's even more terrifying is that this desire full of love, he can use his superb wisdom and dexterous mind so skillfully and calmly to kill so artistically.

Hitler is typical of this.
If I didn't have Nannan, I would also have this tendency, a kind of extreme selfishness and intolerance and strong love.

Mr. Brooks quotes

  • Mr. Earl Brooks: Finding someone you think would be fun to kill is a bit like, well it's a bit like falling in love. You meet a lot of candidates, and you like some of them, and they're nice. But they're not right. And that special one comes along, and your heart beats faster, and you know that's the one.

  • Marshall: She did it, didn't she?

    Mr. Earl Brooks: Yeah. It'll take the cops a week to ten days to put their case together, and then... and then they will come back and arrest her.

    Marshall: What are you going to do?

    [Earl breaks down and cries, while Marshall hugs him]

    Mr. Earl Brooks: Oh, God. Oh, God. I was afraid of this since before she was born. She has... she has what I have.

    Marshall: Yes, she does. But you were always smart about it. She was stupid. She did it because she got off - okay, I understand. She's in it for fun - okay, I understand. But why didn't she think it through? A hatchet? And she left it there.
