There is but one way to keep off the wheel. It's not youth. It's not beauty or true love. I know how to stay off the wheel. I control my fate. I have survived because I know one must be willing to destroy anyone, anything, even the ones you love, to keep the gods in check.

[to Elsa] Thought you'd be hot as a Limehouse whore by now.

Ethel

[to Elsa] The most precious one to you is the roar of the crowd, and God forbid someone comes along and steals your spotlight.

Ethel

I questioned my sanity when I first found out. But this house, this house will make you a believer.
