" "Thou hast no power upon me, that I feel;
Thou never shalt possess me, that I know:
What I have done is done; I bear within
A torture which could nothing gain from thine.
The mind which is immortal makes itself
Requital for its good or evil thoughts,
Is its own origin of ill and end,
And its own place and time; its innate sense,
When stripp’d of this mortality, derives
No colour from the fleeting things without,
But is absorb’d in sufferance or in joy,
Born from the knowledge of its own desert.
Thou didst not tempt me, and thou couldst not tempt me;
I have not been thy dupe nor am thy prey,
But was my own destroyer, and will be
My own hereafter. — Back, ye baffled fiends!
The hand of death is on me — but not yours!

Additional quotes by Lord Byron
Ovde sam veoma srećan jer volim pomorandže i govorim loš latinski s fratrima koji ga razumeju pošto je i njihov takav, i odlazim u društva (s mojim džepnim pištoljima), i preplivavam reku Tažuu jednom mahu, i jašem na magarcu ili mazgi, i psujem na portugalskom, i imam proliv, i komarci su me izujedali. Ali šta to mari ? Ljudi koji krenu na put iz zadovoljstva ne treba da očekuju udobnost.
Kad su Portugalci drski, ja uzviknem carracho! – tu krupnu psovku velike gospode koja zamenjuje naše “prokletstvo”, a kad mi sused nije po volji kažem za njega da je ambra di mierdo. Sa ta dva izraza, i trećim, avra bouro, što znači “nabavi mi magarca”, svi shvataju da sam otmen gospodin i da znam strane jezike. Kako mi putnici veselo živimo! Kad bismo samo imali hrane i džebane! Ali, ozbiljno i tužno, sve je bolje od Engleske, i ja sam se do sada izvanredno zabavljao na ovom putešestviju.
Bajron Frensisu Hodžsonu, Lisabon, 16. Juli 1809.
