Lord Byron Quotes About Dreams

Quotes about: Dreams

• A sleep without dreams, after a rough day of toil, is what we covet most; and yet
  How clay shrinks back from more quiescent clay!
  The very Suicide that pays his debt at once without installments
  (an old way of paying debts, which creditors regret)
  Lets out impatiently his rushing breath, less from disgust of life than dread of death.

• I have not loved the world, nor the world me, but let us part fair foes; I do believe, though I have found them not, that there may be words which are things, hopes which will not deceive, and virtues which are merciful, or weave snares for the failing: I would also deem o'er others' griefs that some sincerely grieve; that two, or one, are almost what they seem, that goodness is no name, and happiness no dream.

  Lord Byron

  Dream, Grief, Believe

• But 'why then publish?' There are no rewards Of fame or profit when the world grows weary. I ask in turn why do you play at cards? Why drink? Why read? To make some hour less dreary. It occupies me to turn back regards On what I've seen or pondered, sad or cheery, And what I write I cast upon the stream To swim or sink. I have had at least my dream.

  Lord Byron

  Dream, Writing, Play

  Lord Byron (2015). “Don Juan”, p.420, Xist Publishing

• Ancient of days! august Athena! where, Where are thy men of might? thy grand in soul? Gone--glimmering through the dream of things that were; First in the race that led to glory's goal, They won, and pass'd away--Is this the whole?

• And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy; They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being.

  Lord Byron

  Dream, Joy, Tears

• I really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one. It is a title dearly enough bought by most men, to render it endurable, even when not quite clearly made out, which it never can be till the Posterity, whose decisions are merely dreams to ourselves, has sanctioned or denied it, while it can touch us no further.

  Lord Byron

  Dream, Mistake, Men
