  1. "'I incline to Cain's heresy' he [Mr. Utterson] used to say quaintly: 'I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.'"

    from the first paragraph of the book.

    How true this is, Mr. Utterson does not know!

    "'We have common friends,' said Mr. Utterson [to Hyde].

    "'Common friends?' echoed Mr. hyde, a little hoarsely. 'Who are they?'

    "'Jekyll, for instance,' said the lawyer.

    "'He never told you,' cried Mr. Hyde, with a flash of anger. 'I did not think you would have lied.'"

    --from "The Search for Mr. Hyde."

    Utterson has lied, and Hyde is right. However, the reader can't know why at this point.

    "Under the strain of the continually impending doom and by the sleeplessness to which I now condemned myself, ay, even beyond what i had thought possible to man, I became, in my own person, a creature eaten up and emptied by fever, languidly weak in both body and mind, and solely occupied by one thought: the horror of my other self."

    --from Henry Jeckyll's Statement of the Case, a few pages before the end

    Be careful what you see in yourself!


  2. "If I ever read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend." P. 18

    "I swear to God," Jekyll desperately promised, "I will never set eyes on him again. I bind my honour to you that I am done with him in this world." P. 34

    "With every day, and forth both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer and nearer to that truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two." P. 79
