Lord Byron
“I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.”
Lord Byron

Lorrie Moore
“It was like the classic scene in the movies where one lover is on the train and one is on the platform and the train starts to pull away, and the lover on the platform begins to trot along and then jog and then sprint and then gives up altogether as the train speeds irrevocably off. Except in this case I was all the parts: I was the lover on the platform, I was the lover on the train. And I was also the train.”
Lorrie Moore, A Gate at the Stairs

Plutarch
“I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.”
Plutarch

Lord Byron
“Society is now one polish'd horde, Form'd of two mighty tribes, the Bores and Bored.”
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
“There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.”
George Gordon Byron
