By Heaven! it is a splendid sight to see For one who hath no friend, no brother there.
Lord Byron
Image
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh Rome! My country! City of the soul!
Lord Byron

In hope to merit heaven by making earth a hell.
Lord Byron
Image
Such is your cold coquette, who can't say No, And won't say Yes, and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.
Lord Byron
Image
To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.
Lord Byron
Image
What is Death, so it be but glorious? 'Tis a sunset And mortals may be happy to resemble The Gods but in decay.
Lord Byron
Image
Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy.

Image
Eat, drink and love...the rest is not worth a nickel
Lord Byron
Image

Lord Byron
Image
The Coach does not play in the game, but the Coach helps the players identify areas to improve their game.
Lord Byron
Image
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.
Lord Byron
Image
My altars are the mountains and the ocean.
Lord Byron
Image
Despair and Genius are too oft connected
Lord Byron
Image
Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?.
Lord Byron
Image
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment - but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?
