“I mean from henceforth to lead a life of extreme seclusion; you must not be surprised nor must you doubt my friendship, if my door is often shut even to you. You must suffer me to go my own dark way. I have brought on myself a punishment and a danger that I cannot name. If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also. I could not think that this earth contained a place for sufferings and terrors so unmanning; and you can do but one thing, to lighten this destiny, and that is to respect my silence”
—- Dr. Henry Jekyll
The Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by RL Stevenson
