"After all, let a man take what pains he may to hush it down, a human soul is an awful, ghostly, unquiet possession for a bad man to have. Who knows the metes and bounds of it? Who knows all its awful perhapses,-those shudderings and tremblings, which it can no more live down than it can outlive its own eternity?" - Harriet Beecher Stowe
