Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.
Lord Byron
Image
Go let thy less than woman's hand Assume the distaff not the brand.
Lord Byron
Image
But as to women, who can penetrate the real sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate has much of selfishness and more suspicion. Their love, their virtue, beauty, education, but form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.
Lord Byron

Lord of himself that heritage of woe!
Lord Byron
Image
He makes a solitude, and calls it - peace!
Lord Byron
