Stevenson Robert Louis 

Tânărul savant idealist Henry Jekyll se străduiește să descopere misterele sufletului. Încercând pe propria piele diverse amestecuri de substațe chimice, într-o zi bea dintr-o mixtură care, spera el, va înlătura răul din om. Experiența eliberează însă din el forțe pe care nu le poate controla, transformându-l în hiduosul și criminalul Mr. Hyde.

Jessie!

God bless me, the man seems hardly human! Something troglodytic, shall we say? Or can it be the old story of Dr. Fell? Or is it the mere radiance of a foul soul that thus transpires through, and transfigures, its clay continent? The last, I think; for, O, my poor old Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend.

I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man: I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both.

Good and evil are so close as to be chained together in the soul.
