More From Lord Byron
- "What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life’s page, And be alone on earth, as I am now."
- "Yes, love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire."
- "I have no consistency, except in politics; and that probably arises from my indifference to the subject altogether."

- "Desire is individual. Happiness is common."― Julian Casablancas
- "To be able to throw one’s self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman’s smile – that is happiness."― Hermann Hesse
