"It is a child of particular disposition that looks at gargoyles while others sing hymns to the Lord at church. I have to believe [Mary Shelley] felt, like me, more at home with the wretched than with the winners. History is written by the victors, but art is mostly chronicled by the disfranchised.
All of my life, I was in love with monsters; this is a fact."
- Guillermo del Toro, Introduction: Mary Shelley, or the Modern Galatea; The New Annotated Frankenstein (2017)
