Lord Byron Quotes:
Ocupation: Baron Byron
Life: January 22, 1788 - April 19, 1824
Birthday: January 22
Death: April 19
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.
