More Quotes from Lord Byron:

You may call the people a mob but do not forget that a mob too often speaks the sentiments of the people.Lord Byron

Lord Byron

And, sooth to say, that very dream
Was sweeter in its phantasy,
Than if for other hearts I burn'd,
For eyes that ne'er like thine could beam
In Rapture's wild reality.
Lord Byron
