I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.
Lord Byron
Image
I have not loved the World, nor the World me I have not flattered its rank breath, nor bowed To its idolatries a patient knee, Nor coined my cheek to smiles,-nor cried aloud In worship of an echo.
Lord Byron
Image
Sighing that Nature formed but one such man, and broke the die.
Lord Byron
