Quote

Why I came here, I know not where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?

More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
The waves were dead the tides were in their grave, The moon, their mistress, had expir'd before The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, And the clouds perish'd Darkness had no need Of aid from them-She was the Universe.
Lord Byron
Image
O Fame! if I ever took delight in thy praises, Twas less for the sake of thy high-sounding phrases, Than to see the bright eyes of the dear one discover The thought that I was not unworthy to love her.
Lord Byron
Image
Hearts will break - yet brokenly, live on.
Lord Byron
Image
Where are the forms the sculptor's soul hath seized? In him alone, Can nature show as fair?
Lord Byron
Image
Fair Greece! sad relic of departed worth! Immortal, though no more! though fallen, great!
Lord Byron
Image
Such is your cold coquette, who can't say No, And won't say Yes, and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.
Lord Byron
Image
Admire, exult, despise, laugh, weep for here There is such matter for all feelings: Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.
Lord Byron
Image
The fact is that my wife if she had common sense would have more power over me than any other whatsoever, for my heart always alights upon the nearest perch.
Lord Byron
Image
But mighty Nature bounds as from her birth The sun is in the heavens, and life on earth: Flowers in the valley, splendor in the beam, Health on the gale, and freshness in the stream.
Lord Byron
Image
Still from the fount of joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom flings.
Lord Byron
Image
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
Lord Byron
Image
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
Image
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
Image
The art of angling, the cruelest, the coldest and the stupidest of pretended sports.
Lord Byron
Image
The law of heaven and earth is life for life.
Lord Byron
Image
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
Lord Byron
Image
All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.
Lord Byron
Image
Fills The air around with beauty.
Lord Byron
Image
There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken.
Lord Byron

Then, fare thee well, deceitful Maid!
Lord Byron
