The labours of men of genius, however erroneously directed, scarcely ever fail in ultimately turning to the solid advantage of mankind.
Quote by -Mary Shelley
My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot even imagine.

Quote by -Mary Shelley
Polluted by crimes, and torn by the bitterest remorse, where can I find rest but in death?
Quote by -Mary Shelley
