Harriet ShelleyEvidently you are a stranger to scandal, Miss Godwin. Did you know I ran away with Percy when I was a girl? Idealism and love give us courage. But they do not prepare you for the sacrifice required to love a man like Percy.

Mary ShelleyI no longer see the world and it's works as they before appeared to me. But now, misery has come home, and men appear to me as monsters, thirsting for each other's blood. And I, a miserable spectacle of wrecked humanity, pitiable to others, and intolerable to myself.

Claire ClairmontI wonder, how many souls will sympathize with your creature's torments?
Mary ShelleyWe both know this is no ghost story. I've never read such a perfect encapsulation of what it feels to be abandoned. I seethed with your monster's rage. I lusted for his revenge. Because it was my own.
