More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
Man marks the earth with ruin - his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron
Image
A material resurrection seems strange and even absurd except for purposes of punishment, and all punishment which is to revenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and when the World is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal tortures answer?
Lord Byron
Image
[Armenian] is a rich language, however, and would amply repay any one the trouble of learning it.
Lord Byron
Image
Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
Lord Byron
Image
And life 's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.
Lord Byron
Image
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron
Image
Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron
Image
The devil was the first democrat
Lord Byron
Image
The heart ran o'er With silent worship of the great of old!-- The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who still rule Our spirits from their urns.
Lord Byron
Image
Though the day of my Destiny 's over, And the star of my Fate hath declined, Thy soft heart refused to discover The faults which so many could find.
Lord Byron
Image
Father of Light! great God of Heaven! Hear'st thou the accents of despair? Can guilt like man's be e'er forgiven? Can vice atone for crimes by prayer.
Lord Byron
Image
Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes But no too humbly, or she will despise Thee and thy suit, though told in moving tropes: Disguise even tenderness if thou art wise.
Lord Byron
Image
The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.
Lord Byron
Image
And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.
Lord Byron
Image
I really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one.
Lord Byron
Image
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
Lord Byron
Image
Lord of himself that heritage of woe!
Lord Byron
Image
I learned to love despair.
Lord Byron
Image
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind I will not descend to a world I despise.
Lord Byron
Image
I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail.
