Quote #4
His eyes had […] told me then that death was a creation more dangerous than life. (1.10)
Once again, Rojack is haunted by the German soldier's eyes. This time, Rojack realizes that death is some sort of tangible thing itself. We're not sure if this guy is certifiably insane or certifiably brilliant, but it's an interesting idea.
Quote #5
I could have had a career in politics if only I had been able to think that death was zero […] but I knew it was not. I remained an actor. (1.10)
When Rojack compares himself to John F. Kennedy, he argues that the only difference between the two men (besides the love and affection of Marilyn Monroe, of course) is the fact that Rojack has experienced death, while old Jackie boy didn't. Rojack can't pretend that he's just like everyone else.
Quote #6
There are killers one is ready to welcome, I suppose. They offer a clean death and free passage to one's soul. (1.103)
What's up with this? If you ask us, we'd wager that Rojack knows that he hasn't been the best husband to Deborah. Dying at her hands would make up for all of the pain he's put her through—at least in his own twisted brain.
