Oh Rome! My country! City of the soul!
Lord Byron

Father of Light! great God of Heaven! Hear'st thou the accents of despair? Can guilt like man's be e'er forgiven? Can vice atone for crimes by prayer.
Lord Byron

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
Lord Byron
Image
You should have a softer pillow than my heart.
Lord Byron
Image
Poetry should only occupy the idle.
Lord Byron
Image
Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber!
Lord Byron
Image
If from society we learn to live, solitude should teach us how to die.
Lord Byron
Image
The 'good old times' - all times when old are good.
Lord Byron

Opinions are made to be changed or how is truth to be got at?
Lord Byron
Image
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron

I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading about them, . . . that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars have left us.
