15 Life Quotes As Told By Dexter Morgan

There is no doubt in my mind that anyone who has ever watched "Dexter" could find the power in their heart to stop after one, two, or even after the fifth season, of this glorious show. The main character, Dexter Morgan, can be considered anyone's alter ego. Even if he isn't, his wit, sarcasm and blunt honesty makes him one of the most relatable characters in television. Here are fifteen memorable life quotes spoken by the genius himself:

1. "Me, feeling. What a concept."

2. "If home is where the heart is, where do you go when you don't have a heart?"

3. "I don't do my job to catch the bad guys. Why would I want to do that? No, my job is to make order out of chaos."

4. "A man can only take so much. Even a phony man like me."

5. "How bad could things be if my hair was neat?"

6. "It's okay. Life doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be lived."

7. "They make it look easy, connecting with another human being. It's like no one told them it's the hardest thing in the world."

8. "I had killed out careful relationship by driving my tongue through its heart and pushing it off a cliff."

9. Why do so many people start their messages with, "It's me." Of course it is you. We all know that. But who the hell are you?"

10. "We create our own destiny every day we live."

11. "Anybody can be charming if they don't mind faking it, saying all of the stupid, obvious, nauseating things that a conscience keeps most people from saying. Happily, I don't have a conscience, I say them."

12. "I love Halloween. The one time of the year when everyone wears a mask, not just me."

13. "I can always see other people's problems more clearly than my own."

14. "It's like, everything really is two ways: the way we all pretend it is and the way it really is."

15. "I did not like this feeling of having feelings."


No matter bold, dark, and insensitive his beliefs are, at some point in our lives, we have all felt as such. Dexter Morgan is quite the character and his evolution throughout the eight seasons was amazingly unexpected.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
