Quotes 

• Edward Newgate : You're mad!

  Silas Lamb : We're all mad Dr. Newgate. Some are simply not mad enough to admit it.

• Edward Newgate : Well to... bring them back to their senses.

  Silas Lamb : And make a miserable man out of a perfectly happy horse?

• Silas Lamb : Of all the afflictions I think of none more cruel than madness. It robs a man of his reason, his dignity, his very soul. And it does so, so slowly, without the remorse of death.

• Silas Lamb : Death can not be prevented anymore than madness cured.

• Silas Lamb : On the contrary: it was my STAFF.

  Benjamin Salt : [Incredulously, outraged]  Staff? A bunch of inebriates and chronic masturbators?

  Silas Lamb : [Slight pause]  Funny; I've never seen the harm in chronic masturbation.

• Silas Lamb : [greeting Edward]  You've had an arduous voyage. From the backwaters of blissful ignorance across vast oceans of academic blather until at last you've arrived here, on the shores of my little kingdom. And at the dawn of a new century, no less.

• Silas Lamb : [snaps]  *Madness* How Dare You Accuse *Me* Of Madness

• Edward Newgate : [Silas is making Edward examine Arthur] 

  [distressed] 

  Edward Newgate : What do you expect me to do? Sing him a lullaby?

  Silas Lamb : [taps his eyebrows with a pair of glasses]  Use These

  [points to his eyes]
