Lizzie Andrew Borden quotes:

Last winter when I was coming home from church one Thursday evening, I saw somebody run around the house again. I told my father of that.

Oh, Mrs. Churchill, do come over, someone has killed father.

I think he came to the front door and rang the bell, and Maggie let him in, and he said he had forgotten his key; so I think she must have been down stairs.

Maggie went out of doors to wash the windows and father came out into the kitchen and said he did not know whether he would go down to the post office or not. And then I sprinkled some handkerchiefs to iron.

I always went to my sister, because she was older and had the care of me after my mother died.

When I first came down stairs, for two or three minutes I went down cellar to the water closet.

I did not see his face, because he was all covered with blood.

My door was open part of the time, and part of the time I tried to get a nap and their voices annoyed me, and I closed it. I kept it open in summer more or less, and closed in winter.

I know what she used to do sometimes. She kept her best cape she wore on the street in there, and she used occasionally to go up there to get it and to take it into her room. She kept a great deal in the guest room drawers.

I have been away a great deal in the daytime, occasionally at night.

I was feeling well enough to eat the pears.

She said she was going out, and would get the dinner. That is the last I saw her, or said anything to her.

I never eat any breakfast.

I knew there was an old axe down cellar; that is all I knew.
