Quote

I suppose we shall soon travel by air-vessels make air instead of sea voyages and at length find our way to the moon, in spite of the want of atmosphere.

More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes But no too humbly, or she will despise Thee and thy suit, though told in moving tropes: Disguise even tenderness if thou art wise.
Lord Byron
Image
There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
Lord Byron
Image
Every day confirms my opinion on the superiority of a vicious life, and if Virtue is not its own reward, I don't know any other stipend annexed to it.
Lord Byron
Image
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
Lord Byron
Image
All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.
Lord Byron
Image
Champagne with its foaming whirls/As white as Cleopatra's pearls.
Lord Byron
Image
Not to admire, is all the art I know To make men happy, or to keep them so. Thus Horace wrote we all know long ago And thus Pope quotes the precept to re-teach From his translation but had none admired, Would Pope have sung, or Horace been inspired?
Lord Byron
Image
What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, is much more common where the climate's sultry.
Lord Byron
Image
What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.
Lord Byron
Image
Above or Love, Hope, Hate or Fear, It lives all passionless and pure: An age shall fleet like earthly year Its years in moments shall endure. Away, away, without a wing, O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly A nameless and eternal thing, Forgetting what it was to die.
Lord Byron
Image
The keenest pangs the wretched find Are rapture to the dreary void, The leafless desert of the mind, The waste of feelings unemployed.
Lord Byron
Image
Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure.
Lord Byron
Image
My altars are the mountains and the ocean.
Lord Byron
Image
Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Image
And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being.
Lord Byron
Image
But there are wanderers o'er Eternity Whose bark drives on and on, and anchor'd ne'er shall be.
Lord Byron
Image
There is no passion, more spectral or fantastical than hate, not even its opposite, love, so peoples air, with phantoms, as this madness of the heart.
Lord Byron
Image
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
Lord Byron
Image
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
Image
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space.
Lord Byron
