Penny Dreadful · Season 1, Episode 15

The Cut-Wife and Vanessa in “Unfinished Business”

They send their girls to me, but for this very service they despise me. So it is always for those who do for women. 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 godlike. Which of us can be that? Monsters all, are we not?

Some perhaps more than others.

Is that what you feel?

Yes.

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