Famous quotes containing the words castle and/or frankenstein:

    “The splendor falls on castle walls
    And snowy summits old in story;
    The long light shakes across the lakes,
    And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
    Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
    Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “I want him to know and feel pain, so that when I alleviate it he’ll also know gratitude.... What I create I must control.”
    —Kenneth Langtry. Herbert L. Strock. Prof. Frankenstein (Whit Bissell)
