More quotes by Lord Byron
Now what I love in women is, they won't Or can't do otherwise than lie, but do it. So well, the very truth seems falsehood to it.
Lord Byron
A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.
Lord Byron
Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste.
Lord Byron
'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print. A book's a book, although there's nothing in 't.
Lord Byron
We are all the fools of time and terror: Days Steal on us and steal from us yet we live, Loathing our life, and dreading still to die.
Lord Byron
Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart-- The heart which love of thee alone can bind And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd-- To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom.
Lord Byron
No words suffice the secret soul to show, For truth denies all eloquence to woe.
Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.
Lord Byron
Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
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
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
Yes, love indeed is light from heaven A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire.
Lord Byron
Know ye the land where the cypress and myrtle Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime? Where the rage of the vulture, the love of the turtle, Now melt into sorrow, now madden to crime!
Lord Byron
Land of lost gods and godlike men.
Lord Byron
Kill a man's family, and he may brook it, But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.
Lord Byron
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
I am always most religious upon a sunshiny day.
Lord Byron
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
Lord Byron
Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.
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
