Frankenstein

A bundle of quotes from the timeless book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley..

They will probably make you experience a variety of different feelings..You choose the one(s) to focus your attention on, which also mostly depends on the present emotional state of you..This is the power of reading good works of literature..I mean when you are reading on a specific topic, you may get lost between the lines and get caught by a word, an expression or a sentence..I really love this feeling..

Besides, enjoy the photos I have taken lately while listening to a touchy piece of music by Coldplay..

“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.” 

“When happy, inanimate nature had the power of bestowing on me the most delightful sensations.” 

“I could not understand why men who knew all about good and evil could hate and kill each other.”  

 tearing the clouds..

“...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.” 

“ we couldn’t tear ourselves away from each other nor persuade ourselves to say the word “Farewell!”.

wish I was sailing away with you tonight..

“What can stop the determined heart and resolved will of man?”
 

“Nothing contributes so much to tranquillize the mind as a steady purpose- a point on which the soul can focus its intellectual eye” 

foggy morning with the little sun up above in the sky..

"Be men, or be more than men. Be steady to your purposes and firm as a rock. This ice is not made of such stuff as your hearts may be; it is mutable and cannot withstand you if you say that it shall not."

“A mind of moderate capacity which closely pursues one study must infallibly arrive at great proficiency in that study.”  

"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."

with a bit more focus in the sky.. hoping for the good days..

“...once I falsely hoped to meet the beings who, pardoning my outward form, would love me for the excellent qualities which I was capable of unfolding.” 
“Why did I not die? More miserable than man ever was before, why did I not sink into forgetfulness and rest? Death snatches away many blooming children, the only hopes of their doting parents: how many brides and youthful lovers have been one day in the bloom of health and hope, and the next a prey for worms and the decay of the tomb! Of what materials was I made, that I could thus resist so many shocks, which, like the turning of the wheel, continually renewed the torture? 

But I was doomed to live;” 

“I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous.”  

“Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.”  

“He meant to please and he tormented me..”

Winter is Coming..

It has been quite a long autumn. Counting days passing does not help at all. When you are waiting for something or someone, life is not that easy. It has been raining a lot lately. According to the weather forecast it might snow soon. Well, it snows a lot here. I like it when it is pouring down and covering the ground as white and yet I hate it when it is so cold and no blanket helps when you terribly miss your loved ones. As the autumn is so hard to bear,  Let the winter go away quickly...

Winter is coming..

This photo was taken last winter on a very cold day. The winter was then so much enjoyable unlike this coming one. It was relaxing to watch snowflakes and taking a walk on the snow listening to the sound of the pieces of ice cracking under each step.


Here I've added a wonderful piece of music.
Enjoy the time you spend with your loved ones.
Never miss a second.

Finally, two absolutely meaningful quotes by Ernest Hemingway.

"My life used to be full of everything. Now if you aren't with me I haven't a thing in the world.”

“That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone, waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away; all other things were unreal. We slept when we were tired and if we woke the other one woke too so one was not alone. Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others ... But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together. I know that the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started. But with Catherine there was almost no difference in the night except that it was an even better time. If people bring so much courage to the world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” 

- Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
