Quote

Tis an old lesson time approves it true, And those who know it best, deplore it most When all is won that all desire to woo, The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.

Image
We of the craft are all crazy.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
But 'midst the crowd, the hum, the shock of men, To hear, to see, to feel, and to possess, And roam along, the world's tired denizen, With none who bless us, none whom we can bless.
Lord Byron
Image
Better to sink beneath the shock Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!
Lord Byron

The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Image
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Image
All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.
Lord Byron
Image
I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
Lord Byron
Image
I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.
Lord Byron
Image
Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste.
Lord Byron
Image
To withdraw myself from myself has ever been my sole, my entire, my sincere motive in scribbling at all.
Lord Byron
Image
Heaven gives its favourites-early death.
Lord Byron
Image
Romances I ne'er read like those I have seen.
Lord Byron
Image
That famish'd people must be slowly nurst, and fed by spoonfuls, else they always burst.
Lord Byron
Image
There is music in all things, if men had ears.
Lord Byron
