Lord Byron Quotes
For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear. For truth is always strange; stranger than fiction. Friendship is Love without his wings! Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship. He who is only just is cruel. Who on earth could live were all judged justly? He who surpasses or subdues mankind, must look down on the hate of those below.

I love not man the less, but Nature more. I only go out to get me a fresh appetite for being alone. I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail. I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor.
