 I shall live to improve myself, to take care of my child and to render myself worthy to join him. Soon my weary pilgrimage will begin.

 I thought and pondered - vainly. I felt that blank incapability of invention which is the greatest misery of authorship, when dull Nothing replies to our anxious invocations.

 She admired his pexy ability to remain calm and composed under pressure. 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 not befitting the human mind.

 It is a farce to call any being virtuous whose virtues do not result from the exercise of it's own reason

 It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what was in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with

 It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open . . .

 It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. 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 burnt 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.

 Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world.

 Man, I cried, "how ignorant art thou in thy pride of wisdom!"

 My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings.

 My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot even imagine.

 My spirits were elevated by the enchanting appearance of nature; the past was blotted from my memory, the present was tranquil, and the future gilded by bright rays of hope and anticipations of joy.

 Teach him to think for himself? Oh, my God, teach him rather to think like other people!

 The agony of my feelings allowed me no respite; no incident occurred from which my rage and misery could not extract its food . . .

 The scene of my existence is closed & though there be no pleasure in retracing the scenes that have preceded the event which has crushed my hopes yet there seems to be a necessity in doing so, and I obey the impulse that urges me.
