More quotes by Lord Byron
One hates an author that's all author.
Lord Byron
The Niobe of nations! there she stands.
Lord Byron
Such is your cold coquette, who can't say No, And won't say Yes, and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.
Lord Byron
Know ye the land where the cypress and myrtle Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime? Where the rage of the vulture, the love of the turtle, Now melt into sorrow, now madden to crime!
Lord Byron
The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.
Lord Byron
I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like one's partners in the waltz of this world -not much remembered when the ball is over.
Lord Byron
Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?.
Lord Byron
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
Since Eve ate the apple, much depends on dinner.
Lord Byron
What is Death, so it be but glorious? 'Tis a sunset And mortals may be happy to resemble The Gods but in decay.
Lord Byron
A small drop of ink makes thousands, perhaps millions... think.
Lord Byron
In general I do not draw well with literary men -- not that I dislike them but I never know what to say to them after I have praised their last publication.
Lord Byron
I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail.
Lord Byron
Yet I did love thee to the last, As ferverently as thou, Who didst not change through all the past, And canst not alter now.
Lord Byron
But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.
Lord Byron
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
Send me no more reviews of any kind. I will read no more of evil or good in that line. Walter Scott has not read a review of himself for thirteen years .
Lord Byron
Absence - that common cure of love.
Lord Byron
We of the craft are all crazy.
Lord Byron
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
