Frankenstein

by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Thus strangely are our souls constructed, and by such slight ligaments are we bound to prosperity or ruin.

I will endeavor to resign myself cheerfully to death and will indulge a hope of meeting you in another world.”

A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquility.
