'...The great object of life is sensation - to feel that we exist, even though in pain. It is this 'craving void' which drives us to gaming - to battle - to travel - to intemperate, but keenly felt pursuits of any description, whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment...'
from a letter to Anne Isabella Milbanke, dated September 6, 1813, in The Letters of Lord Byron
