There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

I have always laid it down as ...

I have always laid it down as a maxim -and found it justified by experience -that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex -but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each other.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

The great object of life is Sensation - to feel that we exist - even though in pain - it is this 'craving void' which drives us to gaming - to battle - to travel - to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.

There's music in the sighing of a reed; There's music in the gushing of a rill; There's music in all things, if men had ears; The earth is but the music of the spheres.

Still from the fount of joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom flings.

How sweet and soothing is this hour of calm! I thank thee, night! for thou has chased away these horrid bodements which, amidst the throng, I could not dissipate; and with the blessing of thy benign and quiet influence now will I to my couch, although to rest is almost wronging such a night as this.

We have fools in all sects, and impostors in most; why should I believe mysteries no one can understand, because written by men who chose to mistake madness for inspiration and style themselves Evangelicals?

Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor.

Egeria! sweet creation of some heart Which found no mortal resting-place so fair As thine ideal breast.

Such partings break the heart they fondly hope to heal.

There was a sound of revelry by night, And Belgium's capital had gathered then Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men. A thousand hearts beat happily; and when Music arose with its voluptuous swell, Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again, And all went merry as a marriage bell. But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!

Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.

I can't but say it is an awkward sight To see one's native land receding through The growing waters; it unmans one quite, Especially when life is rather new.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Then farewell, Horace; whom I hated so, Not for thy faults, but mine.

Be hypocritical, be cautious, be not what you seem but always what you see.
