Accomplishment Quote by Peter Woodcock
“I regret that children died, but I felt like God. It was the power of God over a human being. ... I got very little pleasure from anything else in life. But in the strangling of children I felt a sensation and degree of pleasure and of accomplishment. Because it was such a good feeling, I wanted to duplicate it.”
