More quotes by Lord Byron
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
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
Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
Lord Byron
Fill high the cup with Samian wine!
Lord Byron
Come what may, I have been blest.
Lord Byron
Eat, drink and love...the rest is not worth a nickel
Lord Byron
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
Lord Byron
What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, is much more common where the climate's sultry.
Lord Byron
I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading about them, . . . that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars have left us.
Lord Byron
Though the day of my Destiny 's over, And the star of my Fate hath declined, Thy soft heart refused to discover The faults which so many could find.
Lord Byron
Oh, talk not to me of a name great in story The days of our youth are the days of our glory And the myrtle and ivy of sweet two-and-twenty Are worth all your laurels, though ever so plenty.
Lord Byron
There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken.
Lord Byron
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
Hatred is the madness of the heart.
Lord Byron
Despair and Genius are too oft connected
Lord Byron
They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness.
Lord Byron
My heart in passion, and my head on rhymes.
Lord Byron
Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor.
Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.
Lord Byron
