More quotes by Lord Byron
And then he danced,-all foreigners excel the serious Angels in the eloquence of pantomime-he danced, I say, right well, with emphasis, and a'so with good sense-a thing in footing indispensable: he danced without theatrical pretence, not like a ballet-master in the van of his drill'd nymphs, but like a gentleman.
Lord Byron
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
Curiosity kills itself and love is only curiosity, as is proved by its end.
Lord Byron
[Armenian] is a rich language, however, and would amply repay any one the trouble of learning it.
Lord Byron
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron
Oh, Mirth and Innocence! Oh, Milk and Water! Ye happy mixture of more happy days!
Lord Byron
Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.
Lord Byron
A change came o'er the spirit of my dream.
Lord Byron
Friendship is Love without his wings!
Lord Byron
My native land, good night!
Lord Byron
The great object of life is Sensation - to feel that we exist - even though in pain - it is this craving void which drives us to gaming - to battle - to travel - to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.
Lord Byron
There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
Lord Byron
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space.
Lord Byron
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
Smiles form the channels of a future tear.
Lord Byron
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
Lord Byron
Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down Over the waste of waters like a veil, Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown Of one whose hate is mask'd but to assail.
Lord Byron
In itself a thought, a slumbering thought is capable of years and curdles a long life into one hour.
Lord Byron
The premises are so delightfully extensive, that two people might live together without ever seeing, hearing or meeting.
Lord Byron
