I trembled, and my heart faile...

I trembled, and my heart failed within me; when, on looking up, I saw, by the light of the moon, the daemon at the casement.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

My reign is not yet over... yo...

My reign is not yet over... you live, and my power is complete. Follow me; I seek the everlasting ices of the north, where you will feel the misery of cold and frost to which I am impassive. You will find near this place, if you follow not too tardily, a dead hare; eat and be refreshed. Come on, my enemy; we have yet to wrestle for our lives; but many hard and miserable hours must you endure until that period shall arrive.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

did you not call this a glorio...

did you not call this a glorious expedition? and wherefore was it glorious? not because the way was smooth and placid as a southern sea, but because it was full of dangers and terror, because at every new incident your fortitude was to be called forth and your courage exhibited, because danger and death surrounded it, and these you were brave to overcome. for this was it a glorious , for this was it an honorable undertaking

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

Even where the affections are ...

Even where the affections are not strongly moved by any superior excellence, the companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds which hardly any later friend can obtain. They know our infantine dispositions, which, however they may be afterwards modified, are never eradicated; and they can judge of our actions with more certain conclusions as to the integrity of our motives.

The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feelings of human nature.

What can stop the determined heart and resolved will of man?

It is with considerable difficulty that I remember the original era of my being

From my birth I have aspired like the eagle - but unlike the eagle, my wings have failed. . . . Congratulate me then that I have found a fitting scope for my powers.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

The air of fashion, which many...

The air of fashion, which many young people are so eager to attain, always strikes me like the studied attitudes of some modern prints, copied with tasteless servility after the antigue; the soul is left out, and none of the parts are tied together by what may properly be termed character.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

I am not a person of opinions ...

I am not a person of opinions because I feel the counter arguments too strongly.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

So much has been done, exclaim...

So much has been done, exclaimed the soul of Frankenstein - more, far more, will I achieve; treading in the steps already marked, I will pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

There is something at work in ...

There is something at work in my soul which I do not understand. I am practically industrious - painstaking, a workman to execute with perseverance and labour - but besides this there is a love for the marvellous, a belief in the marvellous, intertwined in all my projects, which hurries me out of the common pathways of men, even to the wild sea and unvisited regions I am about to explore.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

At the age of twenty six I am ...

At the age of twenty six I am in the condition of an aged person Ђ' all my old friends are gone... & my heart fails when I think by how few ties I hold to the world....

...if I see but one smile on your lips when we meet, occasioned by this or any other exertion of mine, I shall need no other happiness.

Sorrow only increased with knowledge.

One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

The instructor can scarcely gi...

The instructor can scarcely give sensibility where it is essentially wanting, nor talent to the unpercipient block. But he can cultivate and direct the affections of the pupil, who puts forth, as a parasite, tendrils by which to cling, not knowing to what - to a supporter or a destroyer.
