Frankenstein

"I am the true monster in this world, not because of my appearance, but because of my actions"

"I was possessed by a great and profound sorrow"

"I shall die. But before I depart, I owe you thanks for a favour rendered me"

"I am forever barred from the intercourse and sympathies of man"

"My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy"

"Seek happiness in tranquility and avoid ambition"

"I have endured incalculable fatigue, and cold, and hunger"

"The cold stars shone in mockery, and the bare trees waved their branches above me"

"I was a noble creature in my thoughts, though deformed in my aspect"

"You have denied me all companionship, all solace"

"Why did you create a monster so hideous that even you turned away in disgust?"

"Books alone were my study"

"I am the only thing that is wretched; I am the only being that finds the labours of men irksome"

"But the hearts of men are cold, and your humanity cannot warm me"

"I ached to escape from myself"

"Yet I am not utterly ignorant; you do not proceed upon fixed principles"

"I was actuated by the most violent yet baseless passions"

"I was formed by nature, but my form was horrible"

"I am a monster left alone to grovel among their refuse"

"The desert is my only refuge"

"I have murdered the lovely and the helpless"

"I am content to suffer alone, while my sufferings shall endure"

"I was suddenly deprived of all that I cherished"

"How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe?"

"I entered the wood and resolved to fix my residence there"

"My dreams were therefore undisturbed by reality"

"I was seized by remorse and horror"

"I longed to discover the motives and feelings of these lovely creatures"

"Alas! I did not yet know the fatal effects of this impetuosity"

"I was born with instinctive tenderness and benignity"
