Image
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
Image
A celebrity is one who is known to many persons he is glad he doesn't know.
Lord Byron
Image
What should I have known or written had I been a quiet, mercantile politician or a lord in waiting? A man must travel, and turmoil, or there is no existence.
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
Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.
Lord Byron
Image
But at sixteen the conscience rarely gnaws So much, as when we call our old debts in At sixty years, and draw the accounts of evil, And find a deuced balance with the devil.
Lord Byron
Image
I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.
Lord Byron
Image
My native land, good night!
Lord Byron
Image
Man, being reasonable, must get drunk the best of life is but intoxication.
Lord Byron
Image
I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me - I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.
Lord Byron
Image
Scion of chiefs and monarchs, where art thou? Fond hope of many nations, art thou dead? Could not the grave forget thee, and lay low Some less majestic, less beloved head?
Lord Byron
Image
I had a dream, which was not at all a dream.
Lord Byron
Image
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Lord Byron
Image
The waves were dead the tides were in their grave, The moon, their mistress, had expir'd before The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, And the clouds perish'd Darkness had no need Of aid from them-She was the Universe.
Lord Byron
Image
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
Image
Parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues With a new colour as it gasps away, The last still loveliest, till-'t is gone, and all is gray.
Lord Byron
Image
Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
Lord Byron
Image
But stories somehow lengthen when begun.
Lord Byron
Image
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Lord Byron
Image
I hate all pain, Given or received we have enough within us The meanest vassal as the loftiest monarch, Not to add to each other's natural burden Of mortal misery.
Lord Byron
