But I hate things all fiction....

But I hate things all fiction... there should always be some foundation of fact for the most airy fabric - and pure invention is but the talent of a liar.

For the night Shows stars and women in a better light.

And wrinkles, the damned democrats, won't flatter.

I suppose we shall soon travel...

I suppose we shall soon travel by air-vessels; make air instead of sea voyages; and at length find our way to the moon, in spite of the want of atmosphere.

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!

This is to be mortal, And seek the things beyond mortality.

We have fools in all sects, and impostors in most; why should I believe mysteries no one can understand, because written by men who chose to mistake madness for inspiration and style themselves Evangelicals?

How sweet and soothing is this hour of calm! I thank thee, night! for thou has chased away these horrid bodements which, amidst the throng, I could not dissipate; and with the blessing of thy benign and quiet influence now will I to my couch, although to rest is almost wronging such a night as this.

Still from the fount of joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom flings.

There's music in the sighing of a reed; There's music in the gushing of a rill; There's music in all things, if men had ears; The earth is but the music of the spheres.

The great object of life is Sensation - to feel that we exist - even though in pain - it is this 'craving void' which drives us to gaming - to battle - to travel - to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

I have always laid it down as ...

I have always laid it down as a maxim -and found it justified by experience -that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex -but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each other.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

There is something to me very ...

There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken.

A little still she strove, and much repented, And whispering 'I will ne'er consentЂќЂ'consented.

I only know we loved in vain; I only feel-farewell! farewell!

Exhausting thought, And hiving wisdom with each studious year.
