“The torment of love can transform people into wretched monsters”

“I am surrounded by some sort of wretched specters, not by people. They torment me as can torment only senseless visions, bad dreams, dregs of delirium, the drivel of nightmares and everything that passes down here for real life.”

“The transformative power of love is not fully embraced in our society because we often wrongly believe that torment and anguish are our ‘natural’ condition.”

“I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom I had created.”

“Increase of knowledge only discovered to me more clearly what a wretched outcast I was. —The Monster, Frankenstein”

“Love is the strongest force there is. There is no stronger healing power than love. Love is pure magic. Love transforms people without really does anything. The mere presence of love transforms people. There is nothing more holy than love since love makes people whole.”
