Gordon

Famous quotes containing the word gordon:

    I am acquainted with no immaterial sensuality so delightful as good acting.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
    Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
    Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so,”
    Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
