Additional quotes by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

I shall commit my thoughts to paper, it is true; but that is a poor medium for the communication of feeling. I desire the company of a man who could sympathize with me, whose eyes would reply to mine.

Why, all his virtues are derived from his station only; because he is rich, he is called generous; because he is powerful, brave - Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
