“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

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

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

“The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering.”
