Image
We have fools in all sects, and impostors in most why should I believe mysteries no one can understand, because written by men who chose to mistake madness for inspiration and style themselves Evangelicals?
Lord Byron
Image
Ah, happy years! once more who would not be a boy?
Lord Byron
Image
Then farewell, Horace whom I hated so, Not for thy faults, but mine.
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
Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart-- The heart which love of thee alone can bind And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd-- To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom.
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
Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new Thermopylæ!
Lord Byron
Image
Tis said that persons living on annuities Are longer lived than others.
Lord Byron
Image
Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
Lord Byron
Image
If from society we learn to live, solitude should teach us how to die.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh Rome! My country! City of the soul!
Lord Byron
Image
You should have a softer pillow than my heart.
Lord Byron
Image
The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.
Lord Byron
Image
There is no instinct like that of the heart.
Lord Byron
Image
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
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
Image
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.
Lord Byron
Image
Better to sink beneath the shock Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!
Lord Byron
Image
There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
Lord Byron
Image
I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail.
Lord Byron
