Quotes

• Hannibal: The colour of our skin is so often politicised. It would almost be refreshing to see someone revel in the aesthetic for aesthetics' sake.

• Hannibal: I've been advised to stay on this side of the line.

Will: Select patients have taken to urinating on the therapists.

Hannibal: I would argue drawing a line might encourage a pissing contest.

Will: I'm not interesting in a pissing contest with you, Dr Lecter.

• Hannibal: (to the killer) Hello. I love your work.

• Jack: How could a human being go so bad?

Hannibal: When it comes to nature versus nurture, I choose neither. We are built from a DNA blueprint and born into a world of scenario and circumstance we don't control.

• Killer: There is no god.

Hannibal: Certainly not with that attitude.
