Spin Your Web, Lady Quotes

“Murder is a strange thing, Mr. Burden. A strange action. A hard thing to understand, naturally, for most of us. I've seen a good deal of it, you see. I don't know that I understand it. But usually, it seems to me, a man or woman who murders is reluctant. Isn't happy about it, wishes there were some other way out and can't find the other way out. There is another way, naturally. But the murderer can't find it. If he could, he'd be glad to take it. You see what I mean?....But the one who killed this girl perhaps wasn't like that. You say she was hated. That's a very good word. Hated so much that the murderer enjoyed killing her”
