“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,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
― Lord Byron, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage
“All who joy would win
Must share it — Happiness was born a twin.”
― George Gordon Byron, Don Juan
“But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew, upon a thought produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.”
― Lord George Gordon Byron
“Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt
In solitude, where we are least alone.”
― George Gordon Byron, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage
“She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes…”
― Lord Byron
“A woman being never at a loss… the devil always sticks by them.”
― George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron: Selected Letters and Journals
“Time and Nemesis will do that which I would not, were it in my power remote or immediate. You will smile at this piece of prophecy – do so, but recollect it: it is justified by all human experience. No one was ever even the involuntary cause of great evils to others, without a requital: I have paid and am paying for mine – so will you.”
― George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron: Selected Letters and Journals
“Despair and Genius are too oft connected”
― George Gordon Byron, Byron Poems
