"The different accidents of life are not so changeable
as the feelings of human nature.
I had worked hard for nearly two years,
for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had
deprived myself of rest and health.
I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I
had finished,
the beauty of the dream vanished,
and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart."
-Dr. Victor Frankenstein
