American Psycho (2000)
The character Patrick Bateman in the film American Psycho:
"There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continuous to allude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself, no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."

This comment is a lil off-topic for this particular blog post, but hopefully that will be forgiven :) Stumbled upon your blog while glancing through the list of Boston-based bloggers. Your posts on the etymology of words are a pleasure to read! I've been long fascinated by the origin of words, but I couldn't come anywhere close to writing about them like you do. Kudos!
:) Thank you -- that is very kind of you.
