Solitude was my only consolation - deep, dark, deathlike solitude. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
If our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might be nearly free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows and a chance word or scene that that word may convey to us. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Evil thenceforth became my good. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
My reign is not yet over... you live, and my power is complete. Follow me; I seek the everlasting ices of the north, where you will feel the misery of cold and frost to which I am impassive. You will find near this place, if you follow not too tardily, a dead hare; eat and be refreshed. Come on, my enemy; we have yet to wrestle for our lives; but many hard and miserable hours must you endure until that period shall arrive. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
. It is so long before the mind can persuade itself that she whom we saw every day and whose very existence appeared a part of our own can have departed forever—that the brightness of a beloved eye can have been extinguished and the sound of a voice so familiar and dear to the ear can be hushed, never more to be heard. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley quote: "I trembled, and my heart failed within me; when, on looking..."
I trembled, and my heart failed within me; when, on looking up, I saw, by the light of the moon, the daemon at the casement. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
In my joy I thrust my hand into the live embers, but quickly drew it out with a cry of pain. How strange, I thought that the same cause should produce such opposite effects. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
