More quotes by Lord Byron

Lord Byron
For truth is always strange stranger than fiction.
Lord Byron
The world is a bundle of hay, Mankind are the asses that pull, Each tugs in a different way And the greatest of all is John Bull!
Lord Byron
The poetry of speech.
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
Then, fare thee well, deceitful Maid!
Lord Byron
There is, in fact, no law or government at all and it is wonderful how well things go on without them.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
Lord Byron
Man is in part divine, A troubled stream from a pure source.
Lord Byron
Ah, nut-brown partridges! Ah, brilliant pheasants! And ah, ye poachers!--'Tis no sport for peasants.
Lord Byron
Grief is fantastical, and loves the dead, And the apparel of the grave.
Lord Byron
Lord of himself that heritage of woe!
Lord Byron
What deep wounds ever closed without a scar? The hearts bleed longest, and heals but to wear That which disfigures it.
Lord Byron
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
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 every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.
Lord Byron
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind I will not descend to a world I despise.
Lord Byron
Who then will explain the explanation?
Lord Byron
I live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me: and to me High mountains are a feeling, but the hum of human cities torture.
Lord Byron
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
Lord Byron
