Famous quotes containing the words david and/or byron:

    The fact which interests us most is the life of the naturalist. The purest science is still biographical.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    As to “Don Juan,” confess ... that it is the sublime of that there sort of writing; it may be bawdy, but is it not good English? It may be profligate, but is it not life, is it not the thing? Could any man have written it who has not lived in the world? and tooled in a post-chaise? in a hackney coach? in a Gondola? against a wall? in a court carriage? in a vis a vis? on a table? and under it?
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
