But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.
Lord Byron
Image

Lord Byron
Image
One hates an author that's all author.
Lord Byron

The Coach does not play in the game, but the Coach helps the players identify areas to improve their game.
Lord Byron
Image

Lord Byron
Image
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
Image
The art of angling, the cruelest, the coldest and the stupidest of pretended sports.
Lord Byron
Image
Go let thy less than woman's hand Assume the distaff not the brand.
Lord Byron
Image
The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the Music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonised the whole — And, oh! that eye was in itself a Soul!
Lord Byron
Image
Fill high the cup with Samian wine!
Lord Byron

Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!
