“The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feelings of human nature.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“I must perish in this deplorable folly. Thus, thus, and not otherwise, shall I be lost. I dread the events of the future, not in themselves, but in their results. I shudder at the thought of any, even the most trivial, incident, which may operate upon this intolerable agitation of soul. I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect—in terror. In this unnerved, in this pitiable, condition I feel that the period will sooner or later arrive when I must abandon life and reason together, in some struggle with the grim phantasm, FEAR.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Fall of the House of Usher

“Philanthropic people lose all sense of humanity. It is their distinguishing
characteristic.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Of what a strange nature is knowledge! It clings to the mind when it has once seized on it like a lichen on the rock. I wished sometimes to shake off all thought and feeling, but I learned that there was but one means to overcome the sensation of pain, and that was death -- a state which I feared yet did not understand.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
