I awoke one morning to find myself famous. - George Gordon Byron

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,There is a rapture on 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 something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything."

"The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the starsDid wander darkling in the eternal space."

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

"A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound."
