To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.

More quotes by Lord Byron
A material resurrection seems strange and even absurd except for purposes of punishment, and all punishment which is to revenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and when the World is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal tortures answer?
Lord Byron
It is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake.
Lord Byron
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
Nothing so difficult as a beginning In poesy, unless perhaps the end.
Lord Byron
We have fools in all sects, and impostors in most why should I believe mysteries no one can understand, because written by men who chose to mistake madness for inspiration and style themselves Evangelicals?
Lord Byron
I do not believe in any religion, I will have nothing to do with immortality. We are miserable enough in this life without speculating upon another.
Lord Byron
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.
Lord Byron
Tis said that persons living on annuities Are longer lived than others.
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
If we must have a tyrant, let him at least be a gentleman who has been bred to the business, and let us fall by the axe and not by the butcher's cleaver.
Lord Byron
A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.
Lord Byron
Thy decay's still impregnate with divinity.
Lord Byron
Have not all past human beings parted, And must not all the present, one day part?
Lord Byron
Let not his mode of raising cash seem strange, Although he fleeced the flags of every nation, For into a prime minister but change His title, and 'tis nothing but taxation.
Lord Byron
History - the devil's scripture
Lord Byron
Sleep hath its own world, and the wide realm of wild reality.
Lord Byron
It has been said that the immortality of the soul is a grand peut-tre -but still it is a grand one. Everybody clings to it -the stupidest, and dullest, and wickedest of human bipeds is still persuaded that he is immortal.
Lord Byron
And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.
Lord Byron
