“The lightning—it is good for you. Your father was Frankenstein, but your mother was the lightning. She has come down to you again.”
—W. Scott Darling, and Erle C. Kenton. Ygor (Bela Lugosi)
“In the very midst of the crowd about this wreck, there were men with carts busily collecting the seaweed which the storm had cast up, and conveying it beyond the reach of the tide, though they were often obliged to separate fragments of clothing from it, and they might at any moment have found a human body under it. Drown who might, they did not forget that this weed was a valuable manure. This shipwreck had not produced a visible vibration in the fabric of society.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
