Death is the only monastery; t...

Death is the only monastery; the tomb is the only cell, and the grave that adjoins the convent is the bitterest mock of its futility.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

To how many is the death of the beloved the parent of faith!

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

To mourn deeply for the death ...

To mourn deeply for the death of another loosens from myself the petty desire for, and the animal adherence to life. We have gained the end of the philosopher, and view without shrinking the coffin and the pall.

A gentleman's taste in dress i...

A gentleman's taste in dress is upon principle, the avoidance of all things extravagant. It consists in the quiet simplicity of exquisite neatness; but, as the neatness must be a neatness in fashion, employ the best tailor; pay him ready money, and, on the whole, you wi11 find him the cheapest.

The circle of life is cut up i...

The circle of life is cut up into segments. All lines are equal if they are drawn from the centre and touch the circumference.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Beautiful eyes in the face of ...

Beautiful eyes in the face of a handsome woman are like eloquence to speech.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Tell me, sweet eyes, from what divinest star did ye drink in your liquid melancholy?

A man who cannot win fame in b...

A man who cannot win fame in big own age will have a very small chance of winning it from posterity. True, there are some half-dozen exceptions to this truth among millions of myriads that attest it; but what man of common sense would invest any large amount of hope in so unpromising a lottery?

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Better than fame is still the ...

Better than fame is still the wish for fame, the constant training for a glorious strife.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Fame confers a rank above that...

Fame confers a rank above that of gentleman and of kings. As soon as she issues her patent of nobility, it matters not a straw whether the recipient be the son of a Bourbon or of a tallow-chandler.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Happy indeed the poet of whom,...

Happy indeed the poet of whom, like Orpheus, nothing is known but an immortal name! Happy next, perhaps, the poet of whom, like Homer, nothing is known but the immortal works. The more the merely human part of the poet remains a mystery, the more willing is the reverence given to his divine mission.

Fate whirls on the bark, and t...

Fate whirls on the bark, and the rough gale sweeps from the rising tide the lazy calm of thought.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

It is often the easiest move t...

It is often the easiest move that completes the game. Fortune is like the lady whom a lover carried off from all his rivals by putting an additional lace upon his liveries.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

The grave is, I suspect, the s...

The grave is, I suspect, the sole commonwealth which attains that dead flat of social equality that life in its every principle so heartily abhors.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

There is no man so great as no...

There is no man so great as not to have some littleness more predominant than all his greatness. Our virtues are the dupes, and often only the plaything of our follies.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

A woman too often reasons from...

A woman too often reasons from her heart; hence two-thirds of her mistakes and her troubles.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

There is in the heart of woman...

There is in the heart of woman such a deep well of love that no age can freeze it.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Honest men are the gentlemen o...

Honest men are the gentlemen of nature.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Keep unscathed the good name; ...

Keep unscathed the good name; keep out of peril the honor without which even your battered old soldier who is hobbling into his grave on half-pay and a wooden leg would not change with Achilles.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton 510 quotes

Days are like years in the love of the young, when no bar, no obstacle, is between their hearts,--when the sun shines, and the course runs smooth--when their love is prosperous and confessed.
