"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. I do not think that the pursuit of knowledge is an exception to this rule. If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not benefitting the human mind."
"None but those who have experienced them can conceive of the enticements of science. In other studies you go as far as others have gone before you, and there is nothing more to know; but in scientific pursuit there is continual food for discovery and wonder."
“Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it”
“Safie related that her mother was a Christian Arab… she instructed her daughter in the tenets of her religion, and taught her to aspire to higher powers of intellect, and an independence of spirit, forbidden to the female followers of Mahomet.”
“I hired men to row, and took an oar myself, for I had always experienced relief from mental torment in bodily exercise”
The monster, in a way, loved his maker. The only real love and reliance he had ever known. This is why he hated him so, and why his master's destruction led to his own. The opposite of love is indifference, but hate and love are almost the same thing.
