More quotes by Lord Byron
Are not the mountains, waves, and skies as much a part of me, as I of them?
Lord Byron
But stories somehow lengthen when begun.
Lord Byron
Many are poets, but without the nameFor what is Poesy but to createFrom overfeeling Good or Ill and aimAt an external life beyond our fate,And be the new Prometheus of new men,Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late,Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain
Lord Byron
Switzerland is a curst, selfish, swinish country of brutes, placed in the most romantic region of the world.
Lord Byron
One certainly has a soul but how it came to allow itself to be enclosed in a body is more than I can imagine.
Lord Byron
Hearts will break - yet brokenly, live on.
Lord Byron
I had a dream, which was not at all a dream.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron

Lord Byron
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
Lord Byron
There is no passion, more spectral or fantastical than hate, not even its opposite, love, so peoples air, with phantoms, as this madness of the heart.
Lord Byron
The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.
Lord Byron
The great object of life is Sensation - to feel that we exist - even though in pain - it is this craving void which drives us to gaming - to battle - to travel - to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.
Lord Byron
Be hypocritical, be cautious, be not what you seem but always what you see.
Lord Byron
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
The truly brave are soft of heart and eyes, and feel for what their duty bids them do.
Lord Byron
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
