Famous quotes containing the word gordon:

    It will be difficult for me not to make sport for the Philistines by pulling down a house or two, since when I once take pen in hand, I must say what comes uppermost, or fling it away.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Many are poets but without the name,
    For what is poesy but to create
    From overfeeling good or ill; and aim
    At an external life beyond our fate,
    And be the new Prometheus of new men.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    He scratched his ear, the infallible resource
    To which embarrassed people have recourse.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
