The Phantom of the Opera

Maid: I have seen only the cloacked figure of a man who hides his face and will not speak! Joseph Buquet: His eyes are ghastly beads in which there is no light — like holes in a grinning skull! His face is like leprous parchment, yellow skin strung tight over protruding bones! His nose — there is no nose!

Phantom: That is where I sleep. It keeps me reminded of that other dreamless sleep that cures all ills — forever! Christine: You — You are the Phantom! Phantom: If I am the Phantom, it is because man's hatred has made me so. If I shall be saved, it will be because your love redeems me.
