More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
Grief is fantastical, and loves the dead, And the apparel of the grave.
Lord Byron
Image
I should, many a good day, have blown my brains out, but for the recollection that it would have given pleasure to my mother-in-law.
Lord Byron
Image
Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
Lord Byron
Image
Such is your cold coquette, who can't say No, And won't say Yes, and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.
Lord Byron
Image
Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.
Lord Byron
Image
I am acquainted with no immaterial sensuality so delightful as good acting.
Lord Byron
Image
A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover - but will sooner or later find a tyrant.
Lord Byron
Image
Still from the fount of joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom flings.
Lord Byron
Image
And I would hear yet once before I perish The voice which was my music... Speak to me!
Lord Byron
Image
This quiet sail is as a noiseless wing To waft me from distraction.
Lord Byron
Image
And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being.
Lord Byron
Image
Absence - that common cure of love.
Lord Byron
Image
The waves were dead the tides were in their grave, The moon, their mistress, had expir'd before The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, And the clouds perish'd Darkness had no need Of aid from them-She was the Universe.
Lord Byron
Image
He learned the arts of riding, fencing, gunnery, And how to scale a fortress - or a nunnery.
Lord Byron
Image
Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man, without his vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the memory of Botswain, a dog.
Lord Byron
Image
Sweet is revenge-especially to women.
Lord Byron
Image
I doubt sometimes whether a quiet and unagitated life would have suited me - yet I sometimes long for it.
Lord Byron
Image
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
Lord Byron
Image
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord Byron

Bologna is celebrated for producing popes, painters, and sausage.
