Famous quotes by george gordon:

    “—The man who has stood on the Acropolis,
    And looked down over Attica; or he
    Who has sailed where picturesque Constantinople is,
    Or seen Timbuctoo, or hath taken tea
    In small-eyed China’s crockery-ware metropolis,
    Or sat amidst the bricks of Nineveh,
    May not think much of London’s first appearance—
    But ask him what he thinks of it a year hence!”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
