More quotes by Lord Byron
Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
Lord Byron
I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
Lord Byron
I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.
Lord Byron
There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
Lord Byron
This man is freed from servile bands, Of hope to rise, or fear to fall Lord of himself, though not of lands, And leaving nothing, yet hath all.
Lord Byron
The French courage proceeds from vanity
Lord Byron
The 'good old times' - all times when old are good.
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
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
A pretty woman is a welcome guest.
Lord Byron
What's drinking? A mere pause from thinking!
Lord Byron
Eat, drink and love...the rest is not worth a nickel
Lord Byron
Opinions are made to be changed or how is truth to be got at?
Lord Byron
If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.
Lord Byron
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
A little still she strove, and much repented, And whispering “I will ne'er consent”—consented.
Lord Byron
The lapse of ages changes all things - time, language, the earth, the bounds of the sea, the stars of the sky, and every thing about, around, and underneath man, except man himself.
Lord Byron
Alas! how deeply painful is all payment!
Lord Byron
He who grown aged in this world of woe, In deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life, So that no wonder waits him.
Lord Byron
This is the patent-age of new inventions For killing bodies, and for saving souls, All propagated with the best intentions Sir Humphrey Davy's lantern, by which coals Are safely mined for in the mode he mentions, Tombuctoo travels, voyages to the Poles, Are ways to benefit mankind, as true, Perhaps, as shooting them at Waterloo.
Lord Byron
