The Cut-Wife: Monsters all, are we not?
Vanessa: Some perhaps more than others.
The Cut-Wife: Is that what you feel?
Vanessa: Yes.
The Cut-Wife: Then it will be true, as long as you feel it so.
Vanessa: Your father loves you very much and would do anything to save you. But I love you in a different way. I love you enough to kill you.
Vanessa: Perhaps it has always been there, this thing, this demon inside me.
Vanessa: Is it poisonous?
Dorian: Like all beautiful things, I hope so.
Dorian: What does it say to you?
Vanessa: Touch me with your finger, softly.
You seek to threaten me with death? If you seek to threaten me, threaten me with life.
Vanessa: You don't miss your home?
Ethan: Landscape's nice. Legal system, less so.
Frankenstein: Man does not live only in the empirical. We must seek the ephemeral, or why live?
Victor: I believe in a place between heaven and hell. Between the living and the dead. A glorious place with everlasting rebirth, perhaps even salvation. Do you believe in such a place? Well, there is a price to pay for such a passage. As there is with all things. I know that you will pay it easily.
Victor Frankenstein: I would never chart a river or scale a peak to take its measure or plant a flag, there's no point. It's solipsistic, self-aggrandizement. So, too, those scientists who study the planets seeking astronomical enlightenment for its own sake; the botanists studying the variegation of an Amazonian fern; the zoologists caught up in the endless fascination of an adder's coils; and, for what? Knowledge for its self alone? The elation of discovery? Plant your flag on the truth. There is only one worthy goal for scientific explanation: piercing the issue that separates life from death. Everything else, from the deep bottom of the sea to the peak of the highest mountain on the farthest planet, is insignificant. Life and death, Sir Malcolm, the flicker that separates one from the other, fast as a bat's wing, more beautiful than any sonnet...that is my river, that is my mountain. There I will plant my flag.
Sir Malcolm Murray: You sir have the soul of a poet.
Victor Frankenstein: My mother taught me many things. Among the most useful is that one must always have Shakespeare at hand.
Victor Frankenstein: As you grow up, you’ll learn we all do things that cause us shame. Sins we have committed.
Victor Frankenstein: I was cursed with poetry very young. Creates extremely unrealistic expectations.
Victor Frankenstien: Do you believe in fate? I don’t mean justice. I mean retribution. Facing the consequences of your actions that have produced catastrophe. A sin that is everlasting, one that you have made immortal. There is a line from Shelley that haunts me, a single line from Adonais. I cannot get it out of my head. ‘No more let life divide, what death can join together.
Dorian: Photographs are so ironically impermanent, they capture one moment in time to perfection. A painting can capture eternity.
Vanessa: There are things within us all that can never be unleashed.
Vanessa Ives: If you want to do a thing, do it because it is your desire, not my allowance. You must risk rejection.
