Jekyll And Hyde Quotes

“This, too, was myself. It seemed natural and human. In my eyes it bore a livelier image of the spirit, it seemed more express and single, than the imperfect and divided countenance I had been hitherto accustomed to call mine. And in so far I was doubtless right. I have observed that when I wore the semblance of Edward Hyde, none could come near to me at first without a visible misgiving of the flesh. This, as I take it, was because all human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

“This isn’t a duality. I’m not one of the Balfour Academy soldiers, drinking a potion to become virile, ugly, and monstrously strong. There isn’t a lever inside me that determines which of me you’re talking to at once. A knife can cut or stab. The label doesn’t change. It’s still a knife.”
― Wildbow, Twig

“The thoughts of his mind, besides, were of the gloomiest dye; and when he glanced at the companion of his drive, he was conscious of some touch of that terror of the law and the law’s officers, which may at times assail the most honest.”

“Alcohol removed the chains holding in check my wish for revenge over having to conform to the stupidity of everyday life. Alcohol turned Jekyll into Hyde. But Jekyll was merely a façade. Hyde was there all along. Hyde was hatred for the world. And Jekyll the attempt to hide it.”

“And still the figure had no face by which he might know it; even in his dreams, it had no face…”
― Stevenson, Robert Louis

“Even as good shone upon the countenance of the one, evil was written broadly and plainly on the face of the other. Evil besides (which I must still believe to be the lethal side of man) had left on that body an imprint of deformity and decay. And yet when I looked upon that ugly idol in the glass, I was conscious of no repugnance, rather of a leap of welcome. This, too, was myself. It seemed natural and human.”
― Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde / Juggernaut

― Robert Louis Stevenson

“It feels like a sort of self betrayal

Your abuser makes you laugh in public;
yet treats you like a wet napkin in private.

To them you are only useful until your are disposable again.
So you join in the laughter.

Silence the ten angry women inside of you.
Hoping that maybe, next time it is you
and the abuser alone things could be a little bit different.

But them or things; they never change.
And you; you always stay.

You always hope.
You always laugh.

It feels like a sort of self betrayal”
― Ezinne Orjiako, Nkem.

“Back in North Carolina, the small office in the English Department I shared with another graduate student for our teaching assignments looked like a decorator's version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one where Jekyll loved Stranger Things, Funko Pops, and artistically desaturated wedding photos, and Hyde loved death row cinder block walls.”
― Alicia Thompson, Love in the Time of Serial Killers
