Frankenstein

by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

I shall commit my thoughts to paper, it is true; but that is a poor medium for the communication of feeling.

I have no one near me, gentle yet courageous, possessed of a cultivated as well as of a capacious mind, whose tastes are like my own, to approve or amend my plans.

I am too ardent in execution and too impatient of difficulties.
