- Jekyll and Hyde, Chapter 10 - Henry Jekyll's Full Statement of the Case
The pleasures which I had made haste to seek in my disguise were, as I have said, undignified; I would scarce use a harder term. But in the hands of Edward Hyde, they soon began to turn toward the monstrous. When I would come back from these excursions, I was often plunged into a kind of wonder at my vicarious depravity. This familiar that I called out of my own soul, and sent forth alone to do his good pleasure, was a being inherently malign and villainous.

- Jekyll and Hyde, Chapter 1 - The Story of the Door
I had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight. So had the child's family, which was only natural. But it was the doctor's case was what struck me. He was the usual cut-and-dry apothecary, of no particular age and colour, with a strong Edinburgh accent, and about as emotional as a bagpipe. Well, sir, he was like the rest of us; every time he looked at my prisoner, I saw that Sawbones turn sick and white with the desire to kill him.
