Quote by Lord Byron

Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.

Summary

This quote suggests that humans are naturally inclined towards a love for goodness and morality, although this inclination is often overlooked or subdued. While individuals are born with physical passions, there exists a hidden but inherent desire for goodness within their consciousness. However, the quote acknowledges that in the current state of the world, this innate inclination towards goodness often clashes with the chaotic and disordered nature of human existence. Thus, it emphasizes the need for divine assistance to overcome the prevailing discord and bring harmony back to humanity.

We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'.
