Even the eternal skies weep, I thought; is there any shame then, that mortal man should spend himself in tears?

The moon gazed on my midnight labours, while, with unrelaxed and breathless eagerness, I pursued nature to her hiding places.

I required kindness and sympathy, but I did not believe myself utterly unworthy of it.

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

Hateful day when I received life!' I exclaimed in agony. 'Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemlance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.' - Frankenstein

What terrified me will terrify others; and I need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow.

My dreams were all my own; I accounted for them to nobody; they were my refuge when annoyed - my dearest pleasure when free.
