Lord Byron - Man Quotes 31 Sourced Quotes
Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day; He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction, But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey. Although his anatomical construction Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way, Your laboring people think beyond all question, Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion. Lord Byron
For man, to man so oft unjust, Is always so to women; one sole bond Awaits them, treachery is all their trust; Taught to conceal, their bursting hearts despond Over their idol, till some wealthier lust Buys them in marriage —and what rests beyond? A thankless husband, next a faithless lover, Then dressing, nursing, praying, and all's over. Lord Byron
