Quotes[]
- Sophia: People think Hyde is Rage, or hate, or greed, or lust. But Hyde is far worse.
- Claire Jackman: What is he?
- Sophia: What was the first day you knew you could kill anyone? Anyone at all if you had to?
- Claire Jackman: The day I first held my children.
- Sophia: It's our oldest deadliest impulse, The need to protect our own at the expense of any other living thing. And we give that impulse such a nice name, don't we? Hyde is love. And love is a psychopath.
