Friendship is Love without his wings! - Lord Byron

"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."

"The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain."

"Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray."

"Absence - that common cure of love."

"Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship."
