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..”

Sadness

Just a little bit sadness, sorrow and grief words with pieces of wonderful instrumental music..
Enjoy the melody and try to feel every word and every note deep inside your mind..

“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.”                                                                                                    

 Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”                                                                                                                                  Kahlil Gibran

“No truth can cure the sadness we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness, can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see that sadness through to the end and learn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sadness that comes to us without warning.”                                                                                                                                          

Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. "                                                                   

                  Washington Irving
