evil jekyll humans
All human beings are commingled out of good and evil.

I had learned to dwell with pleasure, as a beloved daydream, on the thought of the separation of these elements.
unhappy jekyll confession
Here then, as I lay down the pen and proceed to seal up my confession, I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end.
men two jekyll
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.
