"Lila: What do you think I wanted?
Dexter: To know what it’s like to feel something that deeply. Anything. That’s why you hang out in recovery groups. You’re emotionally colorblind. You use the right words, you pantomime the right behavior, but the feelings never come to pass.
Lila: It’s not true.
Dexter: It is, Lila. You know the dictionary definition of emotions: longing, joy, sorrow. But you have no idea what any of those things actually feel like.
Lila: You’re wrong. I have feelings for you.
Dexter: You want to have feelings for me, but they’re just impulses.
Lila: Enough!
Dexter: They’re primitive responses to immediate needs. You know all the words, but you can’t hear the music.
Lila: Stop it. Don’t do this. Don’t do this.
Dexter: Lila. I’m just like you."

Dexter: The British Invasion Trivia and Quotes on TV.com
Parlando di altre cose che han toccato tasti strani.
Il fatto che Dexter e House siano personaggi che trovo molto relatable un po’ mi incuriosisce.
E il fatto che siano così popolari entrambi mi porta a farmi domande sui disturbi comportamentali latenti nella gente, se è ancora valido ritenere la rappresentazione artistica una catarsi dei propri aspetti profondi.
(via shulster)
Lila mi ricorda qualcuno. Ma *tanto*.
(poi che questi geni/[anti]eroi di successo siano praticamente incapaci di relazionarsi, la dice lunga…)
