Quotes

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

“If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!”  “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 in the one, I will indulge the other.”

“Listen to me, Frankenstein. You accuse me of murder; and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own creature. Oh, praise the eternal justice of man!”
