“I am, the soothing voice of my Elizabeth and the conversation with Clerval will be forever whispered in my ear. They are dead, and but one feeling in such solitude can persuade me to preserve my life. If I were engaged to any high undertaking or design, fraught with extensive utility to my fellow creatures, then I could live to fulfill it. But such is not my destiny; I must pursue and destroy that being to whom I gave existence; then my lot on earth will be fulfilled and I may die.”:

Mary Shelley, “Frankenstein”, 1818.
