Oh! too convincing--dangerously dear-- In woman's eye the unanswerable tear! That weapon of her weakness she can wield, To save, subdue--at once her spear and shield.
Lord Byron

More quotes by Lord Byron
...And these vicissitudes come best in youth For when they happen at a riper age, People are apt to blame the Fates, forsooth, And wonder Providence is not more sage. Adversity is the first path to truth: He who hath proved war, storm, or woman's rage, Whether his winters be eighteen or eighty, Has won experience which is deem'd so weighty.
Lord Byron
Prolonged endurance tames the bold.
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
Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
Lord Byron
Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy.
Lord Byron
To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.
Lord Byron
Constancy... that small change of love, which people exact so rigidly, receive in such counterfeit coin, and repay in baser metal.
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
'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print. A book's a book, although there's nothing in 't.
Lord Byron
'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.
Lord Byron
He who is only just is cruel who Upon the earth would live were all judged justly?
Lord Byron
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Lord Byron
It is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake.
Lord Byron
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord Byron
No words suffice the secret soul to show, For truth denies all eloquence to woe.
Lord Byron
Grief is fantastical, and loves the dead, And the apparel of the grave.
Lord Byron
And hold up to the sun my little taper.
Lord Byron
Our life is two fold Sleep hath its own world, A boundary between the things misnamed Death and existence Sleep hath its own world, And a wide realm of wild reality.
Lord Byron
The English winter - ending in July to recommence in August
Lord Byron
Where are the forms the sculptor's soul hath seized? In him alone, Can nature show as fair?
