Stevenson R.L.

In this harrowing tale of good and evil, the mildmannered Dr. Jekyll develops a potion that unleashes his secret, inner persona – the loathsome, twisted Mr. Hyde. This book is about losing control. It's about addiction, about giving in to your darker desires and the struggle that all people go through: wanting to do something and knowing you shouldn't.

If I am the chief of sinners, I am the  chief of sufferers also.

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.
