Dr. Henry Jekyll: That means your eyes are twin pools of desire.

Exploring Love Amidst Good and Evil

Dr. Henry Jekyll: Do you think there is?

Beatrix Emery: No. No, Harry.

Dr. Henry Jekyll: Bea, we're in love, aren't we?

Beatrix Emery: Yes, we're very much in love.

Dr. Henry Jekyll: That's all the difference.

The Nature of Man's Inner Struggles

Dr. Henry Jekyll: We've all had thoughts that we didn't want published or shouted out loud. And we certainly have had desires that are not confined to a drawing room. Why, as Christians, we admit that man is created weak. That's a perfectly honest problem. Why don't we face it?

The Bishop: Suppose we believe that man's soul has not yet reached its fulfillment. Is it wise? Is it right to tamper with the problem until the Creator himself has solved it in his own mysterious way?

The Ethics of Scientific Experimentation

Dr. Heath: I can't allow you to experiment with - why, after all, the man's a human being!

Dr. Henry Jekyll: You mean he was a human being - and he may be again, if you'd keep high-fouled ethics out of this! Sometimes we have to gamble!

Fear of the Beast Within

Ivy Peterson: It's Hyde, sir. It's a man I know, Mr. Hyde. It's him that's done it and more. More I can't tell you. He ain't a human. He's a beast! And he won't let me go, sir, and I am afraid to run away.

Fear of the Unknown in Human Nature

Ivy Peterson: He ain't a man. He's a devil, he is. Why, he knows what you're thinkin about, he does. Why, if he knows that I've been here today, I don't know what he'll do. It won't be nothin human, I can tell you!

Reflections on Identity and Desire

Mr. Edward Hyde: As you were leaving the room, you turned at the door, didn't you? And you said, "For a moment, I thought..." What did you think? What did you think?

The Struggle Between Good and Evil

Dr. Henry Jekyll: I think the man had been shocked from normal good into complete evil. Now, when I say he was a good man, I don't mean that he hadn't had a bad thought, now and then. Or, that he hadn't committed ordinary transgressions against society. But, after all, that's the problem of civilized man's soul, isn't it? That good and evil are constantly fighting one another?

The Duality of Good and Evil in Humanity

Dr. Henry Jekyll: Let me put it this way: good and evil are so close as to be chained together in the soul. Now, suppose we could break that chain, separate those two selves - free the good in man, and let it go to its higher destiny and segregate the bad.
