Lord Byron
Then farewell, Horace whom I hated so, Not for thy faults, but mine.
Lord Byron
And what is writ is writ - / Would it were worthier!
Lord Byron
What deep wounds ever closed without a scar? The hearts bleed longest, and heals but to wear That which disfigures it.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
One certainly has a soul but how it came to allow itself to be enclosed in a body is more than I can imagine.
Lord Byron
Oh, Mirth and Innocence! Oh, Milk and Water! Ye happy mixture of more happy days!
Lord Byron
Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure.
Lord Byron
And wrinkles, the damned democrats, won't flatter.
Lord Byron
This sort of adoration of the real is but a heightening of the beau ideal.
Lord Byron
A drop of ink may make a million think.
Lord Byron
