“i'm a creature of fine sensations”

“When happy, inanimate nature had the power of bestowing on me the most delightful sensations.”

“We are fashioned creatures, but half made up.”

“theses bleak skies I hail, for they are kinder to me than ur fellow creatures .”

“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.”

“Oh! Stars and clouds and winds, ye are all about to mock me; if ye really pity me, crush sensation and memory; let me become as nought; but if not, depart, depart, and leave me in darkness.”

“You accuse me of murder; and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own creature. Oh, Praise the eternal justice of man!”
