More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind I will not descend to a world I despise.
Lord Byron
Image
But at sixteen the conscience rarely gnaws So much, as when we call our old debts in At sixty years, and draw the accounts of evil, And find a deuced balance with the devil.
Lord Byron
Image
Better to sink beneath the shock Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!
Lord Byron
Image

Lord Byron
Image
The Niobe of nations! there she stands.
Lord Byron
Image
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
Lord Byron
Image

Lord Byron
Image
Next to dressing for a rout or ball, undressing is a woe.
Lord Byron
Image

Lord Byron
Image
I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me - I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.
Lord Byron
Image
The mind can make substance, and people planets of its own with beings brighter than have been, and give a breath to forms which can outlive all flesh.
Lord Byron
Image
And life 's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.
Lord Byron
Image
A drop of ink may make a million think.
Lord Byron
Image
Hearts will break - yet brokenly, live on.
Lord Byron
Image
In solitude, when we are least alone.
Lord Byron
Image
Then farewell, Horace whom I hated so, Not for thy faults, but mine.
Lord Byron
Image
But stories somehow lengthen when begun.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron
Image
The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.
