lord Byron

“Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.”

“And after all what is a lie?  'Tis but the truth in masquerade.”

“But words are things, and a small drop of ink,

Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces

That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.”

“I know that two and two make four--& should be glad to prove it too if I could--though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 & 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.”

“I wish he would explain his explanation.”

“The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.”

“ 'Tis pleasant, sure to see one's name in print;

A book's a book, though there's nothing in't.”

“To my extreme mortification, I grow wiser every day.”
