The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • "Miss Murray, though I am a beast, do not think that I am stupid. I know that I am hideous and hateful. I am not loved, nor ever hope to be. Nor am I fool enough to think that what I feel for you is love. But in this world, alone, I do not hate you... and alone in this world, you do not hate me. I... I would be grateful if you left me now. Go quickly, woman. Go before I break your jaw."
  • "Oh, it's thundering so fast... so very fast. I was right, then, about this world. Always I knew that Heaven would be the cruelest of places. Farewell, my perfect Mina."
  • Regardless of what you may think concerning how pleasant it has been to look at so far, the moment where Allan explains his reactions to seeing Mina's scars for the first time and his request to see them again is quite touching.

Allan: I want to see your scars. I want you to know that they are not a difficulty between us. I have my faults, Mina, but I'm a better man than that... they're part of you. Part of your body, your past, who you are... Mina, there's no part of you that is not beautiful.
