Lord Byron
Image
It is useless to tell one not to reason but to believe you might as well tell a man not to wake but sleep.
Lord Byron
Image
My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view, that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then.
Lord Byron
Image
Man is in part divine, A troubled stream from a pure source.
Lord Byron
Image
If ancient tales say true, nor wrong these holy men.
Lord Byron
