Despair and Genius are too oft connected
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
Sometimes we are less unhappy in being deceived by those we love, than in being undeceived by them.
Lord Byron
Image
And I would hear yet once before I perish The voice which was my music... Speak to me!
Lord Byron
Image
Your thief looks Exactly like the rest, or rather better 'Tis only at the bar, and in the dungeon, That wise men know your felon by his features.
Lord Byron
Image
Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels.
Lord Byron
Image
Now I shall go to sleep. Goodnight.
Lord Byron
Image
But at sixteen the conscience rarely gnaws So much, as when we call our old debts in At sixty years, and draw the accounts of evil, And find a deuced balance with the devil.
Lord Byron
Image
Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Image
Know ye the land where the cypress and myrtle Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime? Where the rage of the vulture, the love of the turtle, Now melt into sorrow, now madden to crime!
Lord Byron
Image
Then farewell, Horace whom I hated so, Not for thy faults, but mine.
Lord Byron
Image
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Lord Byron
Image
Kill a man's family, and he may brook it, But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.
Lord Byron
Image
A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.
Lord Byron
Image
It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength.
Lord Byron
Image
Are not the mountains, waves, and skies as much a part of me, as I of them?
Lord Byron
Image
Our life is two fold Sleep hath its own world, A boundary between the things misnamed Death and existence Sleep hath its own world, And a wide realm of wild reality.
Lord Byron
Image
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Lord Byron
Image
For through the South the custom still commands The gentleman to kiss the lady's hands.
Lord Byron
Image
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
