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
