A mind of moderate capacity which closely pursues one study must infallibly arrive at great proficiency in that study.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change. The sun might shine, or the clouds might lour: but nothing could appear to me as it had done the day before.

We are fashioned creatures, but half made up. - Victor Frankenstein

I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

These wonderful narrations ins...

These wonderful narrations inspired me with strange feelings. Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous, and magnificent, yet so vicious and base? He appeared at one time a mere scion of the evil principle and at another as all that can be conceived of noble and godlike.

We could almost believe that we are destined by Providence to an unsettled position on the globe, so invariably is a love of change implanted in the young. It seems as if the eternal Lawgiver intended that, at a certain age, man should leave father, mother, and the dwelling of his infancy, to seek his fortunes over the wide world.

The careful rearer of the ductile human plant can instil his own religion, and surround the soul by such a moral atmosphere, as shall become to its latest day the air it breathes.

A lofty sense of independence is, in man, the best privilege of his nature.

Tranquility, allied to loneliness, possessed no charms.

Solitude becomes a sort of tangible enemy, the more dangerous, because it dwells within the citadel itself.

It is a strange feeling for a girl when first she finds the power put into her hand of influencing the destiny of another to happiness or misery. She is like a magician holding for the first time a fairy wand, not having yet had experience of its potency.

The young are always in extremes.

Our faults are apt to assume giant and exaggerated forms to our eyes in youth.

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

Look forward to future years, ...

Look forward to future years, if not with eager anticipation, yet with a calm reliance upon the power of good, wholly remote from despair.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

Our feelings probably are not ...

Our feelings probably are not less strong at fifty than they were ten or fifteen years before; but they have changed their objects, and dwell on far different prospects. At five-and-thirty a man thinks of what his own existence is; when the maturity of age has grown into its autumn, he is wrapt up in that of others. The loss of wife or child then becomes more deplorable, as being impossible to repair; for no fresh connection can give us back the companion of our earlier years, nor a 'new-sprung race' compensate for tha

My spirit will sleep in peace; or if it thinks, it will not surely think thus. Farewell.

Mary Shelli 189 quotes

In other studies you go as far as other have gone before you, and there is nothing more to know; but in a scientific pursuit there is continual food for discovery and wonder.

His conversation was marked by its happy abundance.
