Victor Frankenstein

"I have devoted myself to science and yet I have neglected the science of life."

"I am the slave of my creature."

"My dreams were at an end; horror and despair had entered my heart."

"I felt myself swallowed up and lost."

"Science had been the passion of my earlier years."

"The labours of man could not rival the works of nature."

"Abhorred monster! Fiend that thou art!"

"One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge."

"I became numb, and the darkness and despair became complete."

"Believe nothing until you have yourself seen the proof."

"How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe"

"I have lost everything and I have nothing to lose"

"Sorrow only increased with knowledge"

"I feel as if I were walking over a precipice towards unseen destruction"

"There is something at work in my soul which I do not understand"

"I have crossed oceans of land in pursuit of my enemy"

"Death may be the greatest of all human blessings"

"How can I help being cynic when I see the world as it is"

"How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form?"

"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 that sting you, as mine have been."

"Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it."

"How mutable are our feelings, and how strange is that clinging love we have of life even in the excess of misery!"

"Sorrow only increased with knowledge."

"I have myself been blasted and broken by some unaccountable freak of destiny, whom I have not the power to defeat."

"No word, no expression could convey the kind of relation in which she stood to me."

"I feel as if I were walking on the edge of a precipice."

"But I am a blasted tree; the bolt has entered my soul."

"Revenge only deepens the wounds of both the pursuer and the pursued."

"Hereafter I trust to myself and to my own resources alone."

"A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind."
