Catherine Trask (Kate) Quotes in East of Eden
And just as there are physical monsters, can there not be mental or psychic monsters born? The face and body may be perfect, but if a twisted gene or a malformed egg can produce physical monsters, may not the same process produce a malformed soul?

“Of course you may have that in you. Everybody has. But you’ve got the other too.”
