“The history of mankind is a romance, a mask, a tragedy, constructed upon the principles of POETICAL JUSTICE; it is a noble or royal hunt, in which what is sport to the few is death to the many, and in which the spectators halloo and encourage the strong to set upon the weak, and cry havoc in the chase, though they do not share in the spoil.” RomanceStrongSportsJusticePrinciplesHistoryShareMankindCryWeakTragedyNobleMaskRoyalHuntsSpectatorsSpoilHavoc Book:The Miscellaneous Works Source: The Miscellaneous Works
“It is surprising to see what superficial, inconsequential reasonings satisfy the most part of mankind. A piece of wit, a jest, a simile, or a quotation of an Author, passes for a mighty argument....

“I expected this reception. All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things! Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us. You purpose to kill me. How dare you sport thus with life? Do your duty towards me, and I will do mine towards you and the rest of mankind. If you will comply with my conditions, I will leave them and you at peace; but if you refuse, I will glut the maw of death, until it be satiated with the blood of your remaining friends.” IfsMenArtPurposeHateSportsBloodConditionsMankindMinesDutyCreaturesBoundsDareRefuseCreatorExpectedMiserableHatedTiesWretchedKill MeLiving ThingsAnnihilationReceptionDetest Author:Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
