More quotes by Lord Byron
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
The stars are forth, the moon above the tops Of the snow-shining mountains--beautiful! I linger yet with nature, for the night Hath been to me a more familiar face Than that of man, and in her starry shade Of dim and solitary loveliness I learned the language of another world.
Lord Byron
Nothing so difficult as a beginning In poesy, unless perhaps the end.
Lord Byron
If we must have a tyrant, let him at least be a gentleman who has been bred to the business, and let us fall by the axe and not by the butcher's cleaver.
Lord Byron
The heart will break, but broken live on.
Lord Byron
Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
Lord Byron
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
Lord Byron
It has been said that the immortality of the soul is a grand peut-tre -but still it is a grand one. Everybody clings to it -the stupidest, and dullest, and wickedest of human bipeds is still persuaded that he is immortal.
Lord Byron
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.
Lord Byron
We of the craft are all crazy.
Lord Byron
It is useless to tell one not to reason but to believe you might as well tell a man not to wake but sleep.
Lord Byron
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
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
If from society we learn to live, solitude should teach us how to die.
Lord Byron
A thirst for gold, The beggar's vice, which can but overwhelm The meanest hearts.
Lord Byron
There is music in all things, if men had ears.
Lord Byron
I slept and dreamt that life was beauty I woke and found that life was duty.
Lord Byron
Lord of himself that heritage of woe!
Lord Byron
The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.
Lord Byron
