John Silver: I perceived its effects on you. What I assumed was sorrow, loneliness, and, most of all, terror at the thing you were becoming. There is an element of this... journey into the dark that... I'm only now beginning to appreciate.
Captain Flint: What's that?
John Silver: How good it feels.”
