"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a big amarone...”

Thomas Harris wrote some cracking lines for his Hannibal the Cannibal creation in The Silence of the Lambs - like the rather memorable one above. If you are a movie buff, you will know the line is different, but the novel included a rather more sophisticated drink than cianti. Hollywood producers like to dumb down anything deemed challenging for their viewers.
The line also also contains a hidden meaning: Lecter knows these foodstuffs cannot be eaten with MOAI drugs that are prescribed for people with his 'condition'. That Harris bloke is a very clever chappie...
My personal favourite from Hannibal Lecter is this one:
“On a related subject, Signore Pazzi, I must confess to you: I'm giving serious thought to eating your wife.”
Below, you'll find some more cracking quotes from both famous and not so famous authors' psychopathic creations below. You will find links to the author's website and the relevant novel after each quote:

'You're going to kill me, aren't you?' she asked with utter certainty.
Plymouth slid the phone into his pocket. 'Well, I wasn't going to, but if you insist…'
His ice-cold eyes belied his warm smile as he pulled out the knife.
