Shelley Quotes
-
I think our grandparents were Victor Frankenstein. I basically am the kind of deeply unnatural creature that Mrs Shelley instinctively dreaded. I not only eat her sacred cows but I eat them with ketchup. While I take her point, I think that transgressive monstrosity and tampering with the life force are both a lot more fun than she suspected.
Bruce Sterling -
Nico was gothic, but she was Mary Shelley gothic to everyone else's Hammer horror film gothic. They both did Frankenstein, but Nico's was real.

Kathleen Raine -
Shelley is truth itself and honour itself notwithstanding his out-of-the-way notions about religion.
Lord Byron -
She only knows headfirst. Shelley knows one way to play, and that's full speed.
