The great object of life is sensation- to feel that we exist... - George Gordon Byron

"The light of love, the purity of grace,The mind, the Music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonised the whole —And, oh! that eye was in itself a Soul!"

"They never fail who die in a great cause."

"There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything."

"In secret we met -In silence I grieve,That thy heart could forget,Thy spirit deceive.If I should meet theeAfter long years,How should I greet thee? -With silence and tears"

"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."
