"There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more."
"Send me no more reviews of any kind. I will read no more of evil or good in that line. Walter Scott has not read a review of himself for thirteen years ."

More quotes by Lord Byron
"You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. Never underestimate the power of love. The way to love anything is to realize it may be lost. The heart has its reasons that reason does not know at all. Music is love in search of a word. There is pleasure in the pathless woods; there is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar."
"Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine."
"When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls--the World."
"Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves."
"The heart will break, but broken live on."
