I must have felt it awful hard to murder….What I killed for must've been good!" Bigger's voice was full of frenzied anguish. "It must have been good! When a man kills, it's for something….I didn't know I was really alive in this world until I felt things hard enough to kill for 'em….It's the truth, Mr. Max. I can say it now, 'cause I'm going to die. I know what I'm saying real good and I know how it sounds. But I'm all right. I feel all right when I look at it that way. {429}
