Here are ten chilling quotes said by Ted Bundy:
2. “We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow.”
Florida Department of Corrections – Ted Bundy in 1979.
3. “What’s one less person on the face of the earth, anyway?”
4. “I’m the most cold-hearted son of a bitch you’ll ever meet.”
5. “Guilt. It’s this mechanism we use to control people. It’s an illusion. It’s a kind of social control mechanism and it’s very unhealthy. It does terrible things to our body.”
6. “Murder is not just a crime of lust or violence. It becomes possession.”
7. “Society wants to believe it can identify evil people, or bad or harmful people, but it’s not practical. There are no stereotypes.”
8. “I don’t feel guilty for anything. I feel sorry for people who feel guilt.”

9. “I didn’t know what made people want to be friends. I didn’t know what made people attractive to one another. I didn’t know what underlay social interactions.”
10. “I’m not guilty? Does that include the time I stole a comic book when I was five years old? I’m not guilty of the charges which have been filed against me.”
