Mary Wollstonecraft Shelle Quotes

A mind of moderate capacity which closely pursues one study must infallibly arrive at great proficiency in that study Picture Quote #1

Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change. The sun might shine, or the clouds might lour: but nothing could appear to me as it had done the day before Picture Quote #1

I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. 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 the one, I will indulge the other Picture Quote #1

My spirit will sleep in peace; or if it thinks, it will not surely think thus. Farewell Picture Quote #1

In other studies you go as far as other have gone before you, and there is nothing more to know; but in a scientific pursuit there is continual food for discovery and wonder Picture Quote #1

How mutable are our feelings, and how strange is that clinging love we have of life even in the excess of misery! Picture Quote #1

Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I feel exquisite pleasure in dwelling on the recollections of childhood, before misfortune had tainted my mind, and changed its bright visions of extensive usefulness into gloomy and narrow reflections upon self Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

... if I see but one smile on your lips when we meet, occasioned by this or any other exertion of mine, I shall need no other happiness Picture Quote #1

Seek happiness in tranquility and avoid ambition even if it be only the apparently innocent one of distinguishing yourself in science and discoveries Picture Quote #1

Polluted by crimes, and torn by the bitterest remorse, where can I find rest but in death? Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more painful to the human mind than, after the feelings have been worked up by a quick succession of events, the dead calmness of inaction and certainty which follows and deprives the soul both of hope and fear Picture Quote #1

I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous Picture Quote #1

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 sympathize with me, whose eyes would reply to mine Picture Quote #1

One as deformed and horrible as myself, could not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species, and have the same defects... with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The moon gazed on my midnight labours, while, with unrelaxed and breathless eagerness, I pursued nature to her hiding places Picture Quote #1

I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy Picture Quote #1

I could not understand why men who knew all about good and evil could hate and kill each other Picture Quote #1

Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of a void, but out of chaos; the materials must in the first place be afforded; it can give form to dark, shapeless substances, but cannot bring into being the substance itself Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

Everything must have a beginning... and that beginning must be linked to something that went before Picture Quote #1

Ennui, the demon, waited at the threshold of his noiseless refuge, and drove away the stirring hopes and enlivening expectations, which form the better part of life Picture Quote #1

Curiosity, earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature, gladness akin to rapture, as they unfolded to me, are among the earliest sensations I can remember Picture Quote #1

Men become cannibals of their own hearts; remorse, regret, and restless impatience usurp the place of more wholesome feeling: every thing seems better than that which is Picture Quote #1

When I step into the batter’s box, the fans, the noise, the cheers, they all disappear. For that moment, the world is just a battle between me and the pitcher. And more than anything, I want to win Picture Quote #1

The guilty are allowed, by human laws, bloody as they are, to speak in their own defence before they are condemned Picture Quote #1

I leave a sad and bitter world; and if you remember me, and think of me as of one unjustly condemned, I am resigned to the fate awaiting me Picture Quote #1
