"One side of me says 'I'd like to talk to her, date her. The other side of me says, 'I wonder how her head would look on a stick'."
"The first good-looking girl I see tonight is going to die."
"They were dead and I was alive. That was the victory in my case."
"Very early, my natural parents were always loud and arguing, which terrified me emotionally of anything very loud and very pushy."
"My mother and I started right in on horrendous battles, just horrible battles, violent and vicious."
Speaking of his mother: "Even when she was dead, she was still bi*ching at me. I couldn't get her to shut up!"
"I certainly wanted for my mother a nice, quiet easy death like everyone else wants."
"I consider it a very phony society, a very phony world, where people are too busy copping out to exist and fit into a group that they had lost sight of their individual aims and goals."
"I had thought of annihilating the entire block that i lived on."-----------------------------Edmund Kemper

"But there was satisfaction gained in the removal of the head. In fact, the first head that I ever removed was that of Anita in the trunk of the car with the knife that killed Mary Ann, and I remember it was very exciting, removing Anita's head. There was actually a sexual thrill. And, in fact, there was almost a climax to it. It was kind of an exalted, triumphant-type thing, like taking the head off a deer or elk would be to a hunter."
"You know the head's where everything is at, the brain, eyes, mouth. That's the person. I remember being told as a kid, you cut off the head and the body dies. the body is nothing after the head is cut off... well that's not quite true. With a girl there's a lot left in the girl's body without a head."
"So it wasn't just deaths I wanted. It was, like I said, somewhat of a social statement in there too."-------------------------Edmund Emil Kemper
