More quotes by Lord Byron
And then he danced,-all foreigners excel the serious Angels in the eloquence of pantomime-he danced, I say, right well, with emphasis, and a'so with good sense-a thing in footing indispensable: he danced without theatrical pretence, not like a ballet-master in the van of his drill'd nymphs, but like a gentleman.
Lord Byron
Ah, happy years! once more who would not be a boy?
Lord Byron
Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
Lord Byron
Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?.
Lord Byron
I only know we loved in vain I only feel-farewell! farewell!
Lord Byron
A pretty woman is a welcome guest.
Lord Byron
Frienship is eros...without wings
Lord Byron
I am always most religious upon a sunshiny day.
Lord Byron
The image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made each zone Obeys thee thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.
Lord Byron
Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste.
Lord Byron
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
But as to women, who can penetrate the real sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate has much of selfishness and more suspicion. Their love, their virtue, beauty, education, but form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.
Lord Byron
We have fools in all sects, and impostors in most why should I believe mysteries no one can understand, because written by men who chose to mistake madness for inspiration and style themselves Evangelicals?
Lord Byron
I loved my country, and I hated him.
Lord Byron
I cannot conceive why people will always mix up my own character and opinions with those of the imaginary beings which, as a poet, I have the right and liberty to draw.
Lord Byron
Bologna is celebrated for producing popes, painters, and sausage.
Lord Byron
A change came o'er the spirit of my dream.
Lord Byron
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
The French courage proceeds from vanity
Lord Byron
