In my joy I thrust my hand into the live embers, but quickly drew it out with a cry of pain. How strange, I thought that the same cause should produce such opposite effects. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Henry deeply felt the misfortune of being debarred from a liberal education. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I see by your eagerness, and the wonder and hope which your eyes express, my friend, that you expect to be in formed of the secret with which I am acquainted. That cannot be. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
We know not what all this wide world means; its strange mixture of good and evil. But we have been placed here and bid live and hope. I know not what we are to hope; but there is some good beyond us that we must seek; and that is our earthly task. If ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
He is dead who called me into being, and when I shall be no more the very remembrance of us both will speedily vanish. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
The night passed away, and the sun rose from the ocean; my feelings became calmer, if it may be called calmness when the violence of rage sinks into the depths of despair. I left the house, the horrid scene of the last night's contention, and walked on the beach of the sea, which I almost regarded as an insuperable barrier between me and my fellow creatures. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Oh! Stars and clouds and winds, ye are all about to mock me; if ye really pity me, crush sensation and memory; let me become as nought; but if not, depart, depart, and leave me in darkness. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Then reflected, and the thought made me shiver, that the creature whom I had left in my apartment might still be there, alive, and walking about. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
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. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Man," I cried, "how ignorant art thou in thy pride of wisdom! ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I felt that blank incapability of invention which is the greatest misery of authorship, when dull Nothing replies to our anxious invocations. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
After days and nights of incredible labour and fatigue, I succeeded in discovering the cause of generation and life; nay, more, I became myself capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter. The ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
With how many things are we on the brink of becoming acquainted, if cowardice or carelessness did not restrain our inquiries. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Plutarch taught me high thoughts; he elevated me above the wretched sphere of my own reflections, to admire and love the heroes of past ages. Many things I read surpassed my understanding and experience. I had a very confused knowledge of kingdoms, wide extents of country, mighty rivers, and boundless seas. This book developed new and mightier scenes of action. I read of men concerned in public affairs, governing or massacring their species. I felt the greatest ardour for virtue rise within me, and abhorrence for vice. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Continue for the present to write to me by every opportunity: I may receive your letters on some occasions when I need them most to support my spirits. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
As I read, however, I applied much personally to my own feelings and condition. I found myself similar, yet at the same time strangely unlike to the beings concerning whom I read, and to whose conversation I was a listener. I sympathized with, and partly understood them, but I was unformed in mind, I was dependent on none, and related to none ... and there was none to lament my annihilation ... what did this mean? Who was I? What was I? Whence did I come? What was my destination? These questions continually recurred, but I was unable to solve them. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
It seems all "protection" has to be monitored, considered, weighed and justified - I am suggesting we do that (but it's something Mary Shelley (and Gertrude Stein) also suggest). "Torch Song," the book's final section, looks at an arson committed by someone hired to protect the wilderness from fires, a catastrophic failure of protection! ~ Laura Mullen
Mary Shelley quotes by Laura Mullen
I saw- with shut eyes, but acute mental vision- I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together ... Frightful must it be, for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavor to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
A child fairer than a pictured cherub - a creature who seemed to shed radiance from her looks and whose form and motions were lighter than the chamois of the hills. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
When one creature is murdered, another is immediately deprived of life in a slow torturing manner; then the executioners, their hands yet reeking with the blood of innocence, believe that they have done a great deed. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
The very winds whispered in soothing accents, and maternal Nature bade me weep no more. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I shall quit your vessel on the ice-raft which brought me hither, and shall seek the most northern extremity of the globe; I shall collect my funeral pile, and consume to ashes this miserable frame, that its remains may afford no light to any curious and unhallowed wretch, who would create such another as I have been. I shall die. I shall no longer feel the agonies which now consume me, or be the prey of feelings unsatisfied, yet unquenched. He is dead who called me into being; and when I shall be no more, the very remembrance of us both will speedily vanish. I shall no longer see the sun or stars, or feel the winds play on my cheeks. Light, feeling, and sense, will pass away; and in this condition must I find my happiness. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Volume II: Chapter 5
The God sends down his angry plagues from high,
Famine and pestilence in heaps they die.
Again in vengeance of his wrath he falls
On their great hosts, and breaks their tottering walls;
Arrests their navies on the ocean's plain,
And whelms their strength with mountains of the main. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Teach him to think for himself? Oh, my God, teach him rather to think like other people! ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
The agony of my feelings allowed me no respite; no incident occurred from which my rage and misery could not extract its food. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I persuaded myself that when they should become acquainted with my admiration of their virtues, they would compassionate me, and overlook my personal deformity. Could they turn from their door one, however monstrous, who solicited their compassion and friendship? ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
If our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might be nearly free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows and a chance word or scene that that word may convey to us. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
You throw a torch into a pile of buildings, and when they are consumed, you sit among the ruins and lament the fall. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
It may ... be judged indecent in me to come forward on this occasion; but when I see a fellow-creature about to perish through the cowardice of her pretended friends, I wish to be allowed to speak, that I may say what I know of her character. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
A mind of moderate capacity which closely pursues one study must infallibly arrive at great proficiency in that study. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I do not know,' said the man, 'what the custom of the English may be; but it is the custom of the Irish to hate villains. ~ Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Ah! it is well for the unfortunate to be resigned, but for the guilty there is no peace. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
The guilty are allowed, by human laws, bloody as they are, to speak in their own defence before they are condemned. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Justine, you may remember, was a great favourite of yours; and I recollect you once remarked that if you were in an ill humour, one glance from Justine could dissipate it, for the same reason that Ariosto gives concerning the beauty of Angelica - she looked so frank-hearted and happy. My aunt conceived a great attachment for her, by which she was induced to give her an education superior to that which she had at first intended. This benefit was fully repaid; Justine was the most grateful little creature in the world: I do not mean that she made any professions I never heard one pass her lips, but you could see by her eyes that she almost adored her protectress. Although her disposition was gay and in many respects inconsiderate, yet she paid the greatest attention to every gesture of my aunt. She thought her the model of all excellence and endeavoured to imitate her phraseology and manners, so that even now she often reminds me of her. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Everything must have a beginning, to speak in Sanchean phrase; and that beginning must be linked to something that went before. The Hindus give the world an elephant to support it, but they make the elephant stand upon a tortoise. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
You accuse me of murder; and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own creature. Oh, Praise the eternal justice of man! ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
A man would make but a very sorry chemist if he attended to that department of human knowledge alone. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Had Mary Shelley fretted so? Maybe yes, maybe no. She'd begun her classic work on a dare. Had culled a dream to bring it into being. But it was not lost on Laura that the story might be a prolonged exercise in Shelley's personal terrors. The subtitle of the work was 'Prometheus Unbound,' and Laura wondered if Shelley herself was not Prometheus in the form of the wandering monster, who desperately sought love and acceptance but was ultimately driven to face an icy landscape that seemed almost fantastical - the way our own subconscious could be, white and frozen-slippery. ~ L.L. Barkat
Mary Shelley quotes by L.L. Barkat
Learn from my miseries, and do not seek to increase your own. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I persuaded myself that I was dreaming until night should come and that I should then enjoy reality in the arms of my dearest friends. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
How unwise had the wanderers been, who had deserted its shelter, entangled themselves in the web of society, and entered on what men of the world called "life," - that labyrinth of evil, that scheme of mutual torture. To live, according to this sense of the word, we must not only observe and learn, we must also feel; we must not only be mere spectators of action, we must act; we must not describe, but be subjects of description. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
A man is blind to a thousand minute circumstances, which call forth a woman's sedulous attention. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I confess that neither the structure of the languages, nor the code of governments, nor the politics of various states possessed attractions for me. It was the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Who shall conceive the horrors of my secret toil as I dabbled among the unhallowed damps of the grave or tortured the living animal to animate the lifeless clay? ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
It is true that I have thought more and that my daydreams are more extended and magnificent, but they want (as the painters call it) KEEPING; and I greatly need a friend who would have sense enough not to despise me as romantic, and affection enough for me to endeavour to regulate my mind. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I have created something and let it loose upon the world. Whether it was my right to do so or not, I cannot say. At times I am filled with love for my creation. At others I am filled with regret and horror. But it is done. It has been created. ~ P.J. Parker
Mary Shelley quotes by P.J. Parker
There is love in me the likes of which you've never seen. There is rage in me the likes of which should never escape. If I am not satisfied int he one, I will indulge the other. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Perhaps it is belief more than truth that helps us survive. ~ P.J. Parker
Mary Shelley quotes by P.J. Parker
Enter the house of mourning, my friend, but with kindness and affection for those who love you, and not with hatred for your enemies. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
There was always scope for fear,so long as anything I love remained behind ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which braces my nerves and fills me with delight. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
But I have one want which I have never yet been able to satisfy; and the absence of the object of which I now feel as a most severe evil. I have no friend, Margaret: when I am glowing with the enthusiasm of success, there will be none to participate my joy; if I am assailed by disappointment, no one will endeavour to sustain me in dejection. I shall commit my thoughts to paper, it is true; but that is a poor medium for the communication of feeling. I desire the company of a man who could sympathise with me; whose eyes would reply to mine. You may deem me romantic, my dear sister, but I bitterly feel the want of a friend. I have no one near me, gentle yet courageous, possessed of a cultivated as well as of a capacious mind, whose tastes are like my own, to approve or amend my plans. How would such a friend repair the faults of your poor brother! ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Such a man has a double existence: he may suffer misery, and be overwhelmed by disappointments; yet, when he has retired into himself, he will be like a celestial spirit that has a halo around him, within whose circles no grief or folly ventures. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
The cup of life was poisoned forever, and although the sun shone upon me, as upon the happy and gay of heart, I saw around me nothing but a dense and frightful darkness, penetrated by no light but the glimmer of two eyes that glared upon me. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Perfect happiness is an attribute of angels; and those who have it, appear angelic ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I had feelings of affection, and they were requited by detestation and scorn. Man! You may hate, but beware! Your hours will pass in dread and misery, and soon the bolt will fall which must ravish from you your happiness forever. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
She was no longer that happy creature who in earlier youth wandered with me on the banks of the lake and talked with ecstasy of our future prospects. The first of those sorrows which are sent to wean us from the earth had visited her, and its dimming influence quenched her dearest smiles. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
The stuff of nightmares is not only relegated to unconscious thoughts upon a pillow, safely beneath an eiderdown. ~ P.J. Parker
Mary Shelley quotes by P.J. Parker
I am about to proceed on a long and difficult voyage, the emergencies of which will demand all my fortitude: I am required not only to raise the spirits of others, but sometimes to sustain my own, when theirs are failing. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
A sense of security, a feeling that a truce was established between the present hour and the irresistible, disastrous future imparted to me a kind of calm forgetfulness, of which the human mind is by its structure peculiarly susceptible. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Will revenge my injuries; if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear, and chiefly towards you my arch-enemy, because my creator, do I swear ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
After so much time spent in painful labor, to arrive at once at the summit of my desires was the most gratifying consummation of my toils. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Strange and harrowing must be his story; frightful the storm which embraced the gallant vessel on its course, and wrecked it
thus! ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Shore of the lake, at the distance of rather more than a league ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
In fact, there was an ancient bearded guy in the corner who looked like he'd probably palled around with Mary Shelley. ~ Rachel Hawkins
Mary Shelley quotes by Rachel Hawkins
This was then the reward of my benevolence! I had saved a human being from destruction, and as a recompense I now writhed under the miserable pain of a wound which shattered the flesh and bone. The feelings of kindness and gentleness which I had entertained but a few moments before gave place to hellish rage and gnashing of teeth. Inflamed by pain, I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind. But the agony of my wound overcame me; my pulses paused, and I fainted. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you, as mine has been. - Victor Frankenstein. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
What can stop the determined heart and resolved will of man? ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Devil, do you dare approach me? and do you not fear the fierce vengeance of my arm wreaked on your miserable head? ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Men love a prop so well, that they will lean on a pointed poisoned spear; and such was he, the impostor, who, with fear of hell for his scourge, most ravenous wolf, played the driver to a credulous flock. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Wells is teaching us to think. Burroughs and his lesser imitators are teaching us not to think. Of course, Burroughs is teaching us to wonder. The sense of wonder is in essence a religious state, blanketing out criticism. Wells was always a critic, even in his most wondrous and romantic tales.

And there, I believe, the two poles of modern fantasy stand defined. At one pole wait Wells and his honorable predecessors such as Swift; at the other, Burroughs and the commercial producers, such as Otis Adelbart Kline, and the weirdies, and horror merchants such as H.P. Lovecraft, and so all the way past Tolkien to today's non-stop fantasy worlders. Mary Shelley stands somewhere at the equator of this metaphor. ~ Brian W. Aldiss
Mary Shelley quotes by Brian W. Aldiss
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 Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
A king is always a king - and a woman always a woman: his authority and her sex ever stand between them and rational converse. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I learned that the possessions most esteemed by your fellow-creatures were, high and unsullied descent united with riches. A man might be respected with only one of these acquisitions; but without either he was considered, except in very rare instances, as a vagabond and slave, doomed to waste his powers for the profit of the chosen few. And what was I? Of my creation and creator I was absolutely ignorant; but I knew that I possessed no money, no friends, no kind of property. I was, besides, endowed with a figure hideously deformed and loathsome; I was not even of the same nature as man. I was more agile than they, and could subsist upon coarser diet; I bore the extremes of heat and cold with less injury to my frame; my stature far exceeded their's. When I looked around, I saw and heard of none like me. Was I then a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled, and whom all men disowned? ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Yet heaven bless thee, my dearest Justine, with resignation, and a confidence elevated beyond this world. Oh! how I hate its shews and mockeries! when one creature is murdered, another is immediately deprived of life in a slow torturing manner; then the executioners, their hands yet reeking with the blood of innocence, believe that they have done a great deed. They call this retribution. Hateful name! When that word is pronounced, I know greater and more horrid punishments are going to be inflicted than the gloomiest tyrant has ever invented to satiate his utmost revenge. Yet this is not consolation for you, my Justine, unless indeed that you may glory in escaping from so miserable a den. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
The agonies of remorse poison the luxury there is otherwise sometimes found in the excess of grief. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Sir Isaac Newton is said to have avowed that he felt like a child picking up shells beside the great and unexplored ocean of truth. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom I had created. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feelings of human nature. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I cannot describe to you the agony that these reflections inflicted upon me: I tried to dispel them, but sorrow only increased with knowledge. Oh, that I had for ever remained in my native wood, nor known nor 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. I wished sometimes to shake off all thought and feeling; but I learned that there was but one means to overcome the sensation of pain, and that was death. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
But where were my friends and relations? No father had watched my infant days, no mother had blessed me with smiles and caresses; or if they had, all my past life was now a blot, a blind vacancy in which I distinguished nothing. From my earliest remembrance I had been as I then was in height and proportion. I had never yet seen a being resembling me or who claimed any intercourse with me. What was I? The question again recurred, to be answered only with groans. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
To be friendless is indeed to be unfortunate; but the hearts of men, when unprejudiced by any obvious self-interest, are full of brotherly love and charity. Rely, therefore, on your hopes. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
He is an Englishman, and in the midst of national and professional prejudices, unsoftened by cultivation, retains some of the noblest endowments of humanity. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Firm; but my hopes fluctuate, and my spirits are often ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Volume II: Chapter V
What are we, the inhabitants of this globe, least among the many that people infinite space? Our minds embrace infinity; the visible mechanism of our being is subject to merest accident. Day by day we are forced to believe this. He whom a scratch has disorganized, he who disappears from apparent life under the influence of the hostile agency at work around us, had the same powers as I - I also am subject to the same laws. In the face of all this we call ourselves lords of the creation, wielders of the elements, masters of life and death, and we allege in excuse of this arrogance, that though the individual is destroyed, man continues for ever. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
The raising of ghosts or devils was a promise liberally accorded by my favourite authors, ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
For nothing contributes so much to tranquillize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
It is certainly more creditable to cultivate the earth for the sustenance of man, than to be the confidant, and sometimes the accomplice, of his vices; which is the profession of a lawyer. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
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 one, I will indulge in the other. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I felt sensations of a peculiar and overpowering nature: they were a mixture of pain and pleasure, such as I had never before experienced, either from hunger or cold, warmth or food; and I withdrew from the window, unable to bear these emotions. ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
I can offer you no consolation, my friend," said he; "your disaster is irreparable. What do you intend to do? ~ Mary Shelley
Mary Shelley quotes by Mary Shelley
