More quotes by Lord Byron
Send me no more reviews of any kind. I will read no more of evil or good in that line. Walter Scott has not read a review of himself for thirteen years .
Lord Byron
In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy.
Lord Byron
In itself a thought, a slumbering thought is capable of years and curdles a long life into one hour.
Lord Byron
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
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
I came to realize clearly that the mind is no other than the Mountain and the Rivers and the great wide Earth, the Sun and the Moon and the Sky”.
Lord Byron
Nothing so difficult as a beginning In poesy, unless perhaps the end.
Lord Byron
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
Lord Byron
There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
Lord Byron
What's drinking? A mere pause from thinking!
Lord Byron
Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Every day confirms my opinion on the superiority of a vicious life, and if Virtue is not its own reward, I don't know any other stipend annexed to it.
Lord Byron
I am about to be married, and am of course in all the misery of a man in pursuit of happiness.
Lord Byron
I suppose we shall soon travel by air-vessels make air instead of sea voyages and at length find our way to the moon, in spite of the want of atmosphere.
Lord Byron
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.
Lord Byron
The keenest pangs the wretched find Are rapture to the dreary void, The leafless desert of the mind, The waste of feelings unemployed.
Lord Byron
I depart, Whither I know not but the hour's gone by When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine eye.
Lord Byron
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
Go let thy less than woman's hand Assume the distaff not the brand.
Lord Byron
But stories somehow lengthen when begun.
Lord Byron
