And I would hear yet once before I perish The voice which was my music... Speak to me!
Lord Byron
Image
Poetry should only occupy the idle.
Lord Byron
Image
All Heaven and Earth are still, though not in sleep, But breathless, as we grow when feeling most.
Lord Byron
Image
Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber!
Lord Byron

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
There is no instinct like that of the heart.
Lord Byron
Image
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Lord Byron
Image
Many are poets, but without the nameFor what is Poesy but to createFrom overfeeling Good or Ill and aimAt an external life beyond our fate,And be the new Prometheus of new men,Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late,Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain
Lord Byron
Image
Such is your cold coquette, who can't say No, And won't say Yes, and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.
Lord Byron
Image
Why I came here, I know not where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?
Lord Byron
Image
Knowledge is not happiness, and science But an exchange of ignorance for that Which is another kind of ignorance.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
With flowing tail and flying mane, Wide nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouth bloodless to bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod, A thousand horses - the wild - the free - Like waves that follow o'er the sea, Came thickly thundering on.
Lord Byron
Image
Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down Over the waste of waters like a veil, Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown Of one whose hate is mask'd but to assail.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
Image
Next to dressing for a rout or ball, undressing is a woe.
Lord Byron

Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
