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

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

"We are all the fools of time and terror: DaysSteal on us and steal from us; yet we live,Loathing our life, and dreading still to die."

"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"

"If I do not write to empty my mind, I go mad."

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