About This Quote
In his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "Frankenstein," Mary Shelley wrote, "I have been long free from the world, from society and from men; for a whole year I lived in a house by myself, and was a perfect inmate of solitude. But now I am once more in the great world again, and among daily converse and society, I return to my work with redoubled ardour." She was referring to her break from the public eye while she wrote her novel. In her essay "Frankenstein," she expressed her dislike for people who complain about their lives. That's why she wrote that it's foolish to complain about things that are out of your control.
