Dexter: [voiceover] I refuse to believe that Vince Masuka is the man who single-handedly brings me down. I also know denial is the first stage of the grieving process for those who learn they're going to die.

Dexter: [voiceover] I remember when life was easy. When the only question I worried about was who's next. Now it's: How can I dodge my "protective detail"? What should I do with my "hostage"? These are not easy questions.

Life doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be lived

Dexter: [voiceover] I'm not the monster he wants me to be. So I'm neither man nor beast. I'm something new entirely. With my own set of rules. I'm Dexter. Boo.

Dexter: [voiceover] I've never been great at conflict resolution. Not without a blade and several rolls of plastic wrap.

Dexter: [voiceover] I've watched 67 people die, and at the moment of truth I looked into their eyes and I knew - and they knew - they got what they deserved. But what if that's not what happens, if you don't get what you deserve?

Dexter: [voiceover] If home is where the heart is, where do you go when you don't have a heart? In Miguel's case, a five-star hotel.

Dexter: [voiceover] In our most paranoid moments, we fear that everyone is talking about us. That's become my reality.

Dexter: [voiceover] It was me. The idea of a code was one thing, a grand idea, a noble cause. But the reality of it ... Harry walked in on what he created. And he couldn't live with himself.

Dexter: I killed my father.
