"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 befitting the human mind." - Mary Shelley (Frankenstein, 1818)

With how many things are we on the brink of becoming acquainted, if cowardice or carelessness did not restrain our inquiries. - Mary Shelley (Frankenstein, 1818)

"None knew of their love except their own two hearts. It was pure and unsophisticated: it had the poetry of an early world, when the materials of our feelings were not yet cast in the strong mould of circumstances, and men wandered forth, like children, in the universe that lay before them, to gather knowledge from everything lovely or majestic; and, if danger rose, to seek shelter in the bosom of love." - Mary Shelley ("Mathilda"; published posthumously in 1959)
