Image
Truth is a gem that is found at a great depth whilst on the surface of the world all things are weighed by the false scale of custom.
Lord Byron
Image
My native land, good night!
Lord Byron
Image
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
Image
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Lord Byron
Image
Send me no more reviews of any kind. I will read no more of evil or good in that line. Walter Scott has not read a review of himself for thirteen years .
Lord Byron
Image
Think'st thou existence doth depend on time? It doth but actions are our epochs.
Lord Byron
Image
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord Byron
Image
When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past - For years fleet away with the wings of the dove - The dearest remembrance will still be the last, Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love.
Lord Byron
Image
So sweet the blush of bashfulness, E'en pity scarce can wish it less!
Lord Byron
Image
Had sigh'd to many, though he loved but one.
Lord Byron
Image
He who is only just is cruel who Upon the earth would live were all judged justly?
Lord Byron
Image
If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing. I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.
Lord Byron
Image
Admire, exult, despise, laugh, weep for here There is such matter for all feelings: Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.
Lord Byron
Image
There is, in fact, no law or government at all and it is wonderful how well things go on without them.
Lord Byron
Image
This is to be mortal, And seek the things beyond mortality.
Lord Byron
Image
Champagne with its foaming whirls/As white as Cleopatra's pearls.
Lord Byron
Image
Come what may, I have been blest.
Lord Byron
Image
If a man proves too clearly and convincingly to himself...that a tiger is an optical illusion--well, he will find out he is wrong. The tiger will himself intervene in the discussion, in a manner which will be in every sense conclusive.
Lord Byron
Image
If from society we learn to live, solitude should teach us how to die.
Lord Byron
Image
Tis an old lesson time approves it true, And those who know it best, deplore it most When all is won that all desire to woo, The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.
Lord Byron
