I cannot conceive why people will always mix up my own character and opinions with those of the imaginary beings which, as a poet, I have the right and liberty to draw.
Lord Byron
Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.
Lord Byron
It is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake.

Land of lost gods and godlike men.
Lord Byron
The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the Music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonised the whole — And, oh! that eye was in itself a Soul!
Lord Byron
For truth is always strange stranger than fiction.
Lord Byron
