Charlotte: "...All this hatred! Why have you never said anything?" Eva: "Because you never listen. You're a goddamn escapist. You're emotionally crippled. In actual fact, you detest me and Helena. You're shut up inside yourself, and always stand in your own light. I loved you, but you thought I was disgusting, and stupid, and a failure. You managed to injure me for life, just as you are injured. All that was sensitive and delicate, you attacked. All that was alive, you tried to smother. You talk of my hatred. Your hatred was no less. Your hatred is no less. I was little and malleable and loving. You bound me because you wanted my love, just as you want everyone else's love. I was utterly at your mercy. It was all done in the name of love."
