“Increase of knowledge only discovered to me more clearly what a wretched outcast I was. —The Monster, Frankenstein”
“Increase of knowledge only discovered to me more clearly what a wretched outcast I was. I cherished hope, it is true, but it vanished when I beheld my person reflected in water or my shadow in the moonshine, even as that frail image and that inconstant shade.”
“The writer must be universal in sympathy and an outcast by nature: only then can he see clearly.”
“Knowlege of God without knowledge of man's wretchedness leads to pride. Knowledge of man's wretchedness without knowledge of God leads to despair. Knowledge of Jesus Christ is the middle course, because by it we discover both God and our wretched state.”
“If I’m a monster, then you must be the creator of them all. You’re my Dr. Frankenstein.”
“I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom I had created.”
