[the Cut-Wife speaks to Vanessa about the monsters in mankind]

Joan Clayton:
Old as I am, I know nothing. Why people in this world hate what is not them. Why they fear all they don't know. Why they hate themselves most of all. For being weak. For being old. For being everything altogether that is not God-like. Which of us can be that? Monsters all, are we not?

Vanessa Ives:
Some perhaps more than others.

Joan Clayton:
Is that what you feel?

Vanessa Ives:
Yes.

Joan Clayton:
Then it will be true, as long as you feel it so.
