“There be none of Beauty's daughters with a magic like thee; and like music on the waters is thy sweet voice to me.”

About Lord Byron

1788 – 1824

English Romantic poet, author of 'Don Juan' and 'Childe Harold's Pilgrimage'.

“When we think we lead, we are most led.”

“I am not now that which I have been.”

“Ah! happy years! once more who would not be a boy!”

“At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph, paint or even remember it.”

“I've found that there is always some beauty left — in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you.”

“Warriors of the light are not perfect. Their beauty lies in accepting this fact and still desiring to grow and to learn.”

“There is a science of intelligent living, an art of being fully human, in which we all can and ought to be creative.”

“He is the greatest artist who has embodied, in the sum of his works, the greatest number of the greatest ideas.”
