“There was this boy I sent to the ‘lectric chair awhile back. My arrest and my testimony. He killt’ a fourteen-year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn’t any passion to it. Told me that he’d been planning to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out he’d do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell. ‘Be there in about fifteen minutes.’ I don’t know what to make of that. I surely don’t.”
~Sheriff Ed Tom Bell, perplexed and bewildered by the black-heartedness of some people,
taken from Cormack McCarthy’s novel “No Country For Old Men”
