"All who joy would win Must share it -- Happiness was born a twin."
George Gordon Byron Don Juan
"The stars are forth, the moon above the tops Of the snow-shining mountains.—Beautiful!I linger yet with Nature, for the night Hath been to me a more familiar face Than that of man; and in her starry shade Of dim and solitary loveliness,I learn'd the language of another world."
George Gordon Byron Manfred
"If I do not write to empty my mind, I go mad."
George Gordon Byron
"“She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellow’d to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less,Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress,Or softly lightens o’er her face;Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,The smiles that win, the tints that glow,But tell of days in goodness spent,A mind at peace with all A heart whose love is innocent!”"
George Gordon Byron Selected Poems of Lord Byron
"“I live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me: and to me High mountains are a feeling, but the humof human cities torture.”"
George Gordon Byron Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
"This is to be mortal, And seek the things beyond mortality."
George Gordon Byron
"When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home,Let him combat for that of his neighbours;Let him think of the glories of Greece and of Rome,And get knocked on the head for his labours. To do good to Mankind is the chivalrous plan,And is always as nobly requited;Then battle fro Freedom wherever you can,And, if not shot or hanged, you'll get knighted."
George Gordon Byron

"Always laugh when you can, it is cheap medicine."
George Gordon Byron
"I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure."
George Gordon Byron
"As soon seek roses in December, ice in June,Hope constancy in wind, or corn in chaff Believe a woman or an epitaph Or any other thing that’s false Before you trust in critics."
George Gordon Byron
"No more Keats, I entreat: flay him alive; if some of you don’t I must skin him myself: there is no bearing the drivelling idiotism of the Mankin."
George Gordon Byron
"Sweet to the miser are his glittering heaps,Sweet to the father is his first-born's birth,Sweet is revenge--especially to women"
George Gordon Byron

George Gordon Byron
"Man's love is of man's life a thing apart,'Tis woman's whole existence."
George Gordon Byron
"Many are poets, but without the name;For what is Poesy but to create From overfeeling Good or Ill; and aim At an external life beyond our fate,And be the new Prometheus of new men,Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late,Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain"
George Gordon Byron
"But first, on earth as vampire sent,Thy corse shall from its tomb be rent,Then ghastly haunt thy native place,And suck the blood of all thy race. There from thy daughter, sister, wife,At midnight drain the stream of life,Yet loathe the banquet which perforce Must feed thy livid living corse. Thy victims ere they yet expire Shall know the demon for their sire,As cursing thee, thou cursing them,Thy flowers are withered on the stem."
George Gordon Byron
