Time After Time Quotes
You're more than a murderer, you're a doctor. You told me yourself. Now prove it.
Jane
The man you judge - the man the whole world has put on trial in absentia - the selfish, vile prat. The Ripper. You know him so well yet beg to know why, why, WHY? He's lived a dark and dishonorable life. He's done despicable things. But that does not preclude the possibility of good, does it? My boy, my boy! Congratulations, you are the proof, the one good thing he might ever do, the punctuation of a remarkable, misunderstood life.
Stevenson

Stevenson

H.G. Wells
Brooke: Stop. Don't do this, John, I can help you.
Stevenson: I don't need your help. If you want to help somebody, help yourself because you, my dear, are as mad as a bag of ferrets.
Brooke: I was afraid The Ripper would find me boring
Stevenson: Boring? A little romp in the bedroom, syringe to the neck, awaken naked and tied up in a laboratory? Boring is the very least of what you are, my darling.
In my day, passion and desire...they were the true result of yearning for a woman, the longing that fills your head and clouds every thought as you patiently wait for her to walk through the door and say 'Good Morning'
H.G. Wells
