Quote

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.

More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
Just as old age is creeping on space, And clouds come o'er the sunset of our day, They kindly leave us, though not quite alone, But in good company--the gout or stone.
Lord Byron
Image
I am acquainted with no immaterial sensuality so delightful as good acting.
Lord Byron
Image
Kill a man's family, and he may brook it, But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.
Lord Byron
Image
A pretty woman is a welcome guest.
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
Image
I only know we loved in vain I only feel-farewell! farewell!
Lord Byron
Image
This is to be mortal, And seek the things beyond mortality.
Lord Byron
Image
Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down Over the waste of waters like a veil, Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown Of one whose hate is mask'd but to assail.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
What should I have known or written had I been a quiet, mercantile politician or a lord in waiting? A man must travel, and turmoil, or there is no existence.
Lord Byron
Image
We of the craft are all crazy.
Lord Byron
Image
The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.
Lord Byron
Image
Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels.
Lord Byron
Image
That famish'd people must be slowly nurst, and fed by spoonfuls, else they always burst.
Lord Byron
Image
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
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
Now I shall go to sleep. Goodnight.
Lord Byron
Image
Above or Love, Hope, Hate or Fear, It lives all passionless and pure: An age shall fleet like earthly year Its years in moments shall endure. Away, away, without a wing, O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly A nameless and eternal thing, Forgetting what it was to die.
Lord Byron
Image
'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.
Lord Byron
Image
A little still she strove, and much repented, And whispering “I will ne'er consent”—consented.
Lord Byron
