“Myra Hindley and I once loved each other. We were a unified force, not two conflicting enemies. The relationship was not based on the delusional concept of folie à deux, but on a conscious/subconscious emotional and psychological affinity. She regarded periodic homicide as rituals… marriage ceremonies theoretically binding us ever closer. As the records show, before we met my criminal activity had been primarily mercenary. Afterwards, a duality of motivation developed. Existential philosophy melded with the spirituality of death and became predominant.” - Ian Brady
