The art of angling, the cruelest, the coldest and the stupidest of pretended sports.
Lord Byron
Image
My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view, that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
I have no consistency, except in politics and that probably arises from my indifference to the subject altogether.
Lord Byron
Image
A small drop of ink makes thousands, perhaps millions... think.
Lord Byron
Image
And I would hear yet once before I perish The voice which was my music... Speak to me!
Lord Byron
