More quotes by Lord Byron
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
Lord Byron
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space.
Lord Byron
Friendship is Love without his wings!
Lord Byron
The Christian has greatly the advantage of the unbeliever, having everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Lord Byron
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
Lord Byron
I cannot help thinking that the menace of Hell makes as many devils as the severe penal codes of inhuman humanity make villains.
Lord Byron
Still from the fount of joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom flings.
Lord Byron
Are not the mountains, waves, and skies as much a part of me, as I of them?
Lord Byron
Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.
Lord Byron
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron
I am the very slave of circumstance And impulse borne away with every breath! Misplaced upon the throne misplaced in life. I know not what I could have been, but feel I am not what I should be let it end.
Lord Byron
I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.
Lord Byron
Scion of chiefs and monarchs, where art thou? Fond hope of many nations, art thou dead? Could not the grave forget thee, and lay low Some less majestic, less beloved head?
Lord Byron
Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
I am always most religious upon a sunshiny day.
Lord Byron
Prolonged endurance tames the bold.
Lord Byron
I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.
Lord Byron
Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
Lord Byron
I was accused of every monstrous vice by public rumour and private rancour my name, which had been a knightly or noble one, was tainted. I felt that, if what was whispered, and muttered, and murmured, was true, I was unfit for England if false, England was unfit for me.
Lord Byron
Many are poets, but without the nameFor what is Poesy but to createFrom overfeeling Good or Ill and aimAt an external life beyond our fate,And be the new Prometheus of new men,Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late,Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain
Lord Byron
