Mary Shelly Quote: “Slave, I before reasoned with you, but you have proved yourself unworthy of my condescension.

Mary Shelly Quote: “Do not waste your time upon this; it is sad trash.”

Mary Shelly Quote: “Adieu! my cousin; take care of yourself; and, I entreat you, write!”
Mary Shelly Quote: “The sight of the awful and majestic in nature had indeed always the effect of solemnising my mind, and causing me to forget the passing cares of life. I determined to go without a guide, for I was well acquainted with the path, and the presence of another would destroy the solitary grandeur of the scene.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “Am I to be thought the only criminal, when all human kind sinned against me?”
Mary Shelly Quote: “I was required to exchange chimeras of boundless grandeur for the realities of little worth.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “The companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds, which hardly any later friend can obtain.”

Mary Shelly Quote: “Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous, and magnificent, yet so vicious and base?”
Mary Shelly Quote: “When I looked around, I saw and heard of none like me. Was I then a monster?”
Mary Shelly Quote: “There was none among the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me; and should I feel kindness towards my enemies? No: from that moment I declared ever-lasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me, and sent me forth to this insupportable misery.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “My possessions are at your service,′ I replied bitterly-’my poverty, my exile, my disgrace I make a free gift of them all.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “It was a strong effort of the spirit of good; but it was ineffectual. Destiny was too potent, and her immutable laws had decreed my utter and terrible destruction.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “Oh, that I had for ever remained in my native wood, nor known or felt beyond the sensations of hunger, thirst, and heat! Of what a strange nature is knowledge! It clings to the mind, when it has once seized on it, like a lichen on the rock.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “What I wrote was intended at least for one other eye – my childhood’s companion and friend; but my dreams were all my own; I accounted for them to nobody; they were my refuge when annoyed – my dearest pleasure when free.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “You are my creator, but I am your master – obey!”
Mary Shelly Quote: “When I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion.”

Has this mind, so replete with ideas, imaginations fanciful and magnificent, which formed a world, whose existence depended on the life of its creator – has the mind perished? Does it now only exist in my memory? No, it is not thus; your form so divinely wrought, and beaming with beauty, has decayed, but your spirit still visits and consoles your unhappy friend.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “Even where the affections are not strongly moved by any superior excellence, the companions of our childhood always posses a certain power over our minds which hardly any later friend can obtain.”
Mary Shelly Quote: “I asked, it is true, for greater treasures than a little food or rest: I required kindness and sympathy; but I did not believe myself utterly unworthy of it.”

Mary Shelly Quote: “This state of mind preyed upon my health, which had perhaps never entirely recovered from the first shock it had sustained. I shunned the face of men; all sound of joy or complacency was torture to me; solitude was my only consolation – deep, dark, deathlike solitude.”
