George Byron

• "I slept and dreamt that life was beauty I woke and found that life was duty.“
• "The best prophet of the future is the past.“
• "I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?“
• "Lovers may be and indeed generally are enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations.“
• "There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar I love not Man the less, but Nature more.“
• "There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar I love not Man the less, but Nature more.“
• "Shelley is truth itself and honour itself notwithstanding his out-of-the-way notions about religion.“
• "There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar I love not Man the less, but Nature more.“
• "What should I have known or written had I been a quiet, mercantile politician or a lord in waiting? A man must travel, and turmoil, or there is no existence.“
• "If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom.“
• "Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.“
