Devil, do you dare approach me? and do you not fear the fierce vengeance of my arm wreaked on your miserable head?
("Frankenstein")
More Quotes from Mary Shelley:
For a moment my soul was elevated from its debasing and miserable fears to which these sights were the monuments and the remembrances. For an instant I dared to shake off my chains, and look around me with a free and lofty spirit; but the iron had eaten into my flesh, and I sank again, trembling and hopeless, into my miserable self.Mary Shelley
