My lady, would you care to inspect the menu for dinner? Cook is doing her best to accommodate on such short notice. I believe she plans to serve chicken this evening."
"Oh, actually, chicken will do very well for his lordship, but I shall require a dish without meat."
"Without meat?" the woman repeated, looking even more pinched. "Such as, may I inquire?"
"Vegetables, bread, noodles, soup made without meat stock, cheese, milk, fruit. Anything, really, so long as it is not made from killed meat. ~ Tracy Anne Warren
Esme Byron quotes by Tracy Anne Warren
A tender smile softened his face. "That would be Esme. She's nine and a delight. I haven't seen much of her these past few years, but she writes me letters. Sends me drawings as well. I have a likeliness of every cat, hound, and horse she's ever met, and considering the menagerie she keeps in the country at Clybourne, that's a great many indeed. ~ Tracy Anne Warren
Esme Byron quotes by Tracy Anne Warren
In London, she'd overheard more than one matron decrying what they considered Esme Byron's inappropriate eccentricities, aghast that she was allowed so much personal freedom and the ability to voice opinions they considered unsuitable for an unmarried young woman barely out of the schoolroom. But her family always stood by her, proud of her artistic talent and uniformly deaf to the complaints of any critics who might say she needed a firmer hand.
'What must Ned and Mama be thinking now?' Were they regretting that they had not listened to those critics? Wishing they'd kept a tighter rein on her activities rather than letting her venture out as she chose?
But she would have gone mad being constrained and confined the way she knew most girls her age were. She could never have been borne the suffocating restrictions, the smothering tedium of being expected to go everywhere with a chaperone in tow, or worse, being cooped up inside doing embroidery or playing the pianoforte. ~ Tracy Anne Warren
Esme Byron quotes by Tracy Anne Warren
Don't be careful. You could hurt yourself. ~ Byron Katie
Esme Byron quotes by Byron Katie
The busy have no time for tears. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
Forgive me also that I didn't fight like Lord Byron for the happiness of captive peoples that I watched only risings of the moon and museums ~ Zbigniew Herbert
Esme Byron quotes by Zbigniew Herbert
Such hath it been
shall be
beneath the sun The many still must labour for the one. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
Katie: We live; we die. Always right on time, not one moment sooner or later than ~ Byron Katie
Esme Byron quotes by Byron Katie
That day and night, the bleeding and the screaming, had knocked something askew for Esme, like a picture swinging crooked on a wall. She loved the life she lived with her mother. It was beautiful. It was, she sometimes thought, a sweet emulation of the fairy tales they cherished in their lovely, gold-edged books. They sewed their own clothes from bolts of velvet and silk, ate all their meals as picnics, indoors or out, and danced on the rooftop, cutting passageways through the fog with their bodies. They embroidered tapestries of their own design, wove endless melodies on their violins, charted the course of the moon each month, and went to the theater and the ballet as often as they liked--every night last week to see Swan Lake again and again. Esme herself could dance like a faerie, climb trees like a squirrel, and sit so still in the park that birds would come to perch on her. Her mother had taught her all that, and for years it had been enough. But she wasn't a little girl anymore, and she had begun to catch hints and glints of another world outside her pretty little life, one filled with spice and poetry and strangers. ~ Laini Taylor
Esme Byron quotes by Laini Taylor
Is what happened to Chinook the reason you're in a hurry to leave - or is last night's kiss to blame?" She looked over at him, her dark brow furrowed. "Neither. I just need to get my car in for repairs before I start my new position next week." "I see." He did - right through her. "I came on too strong, didn't I?" "Maybe. No. Not at all. It's just... " She hesitated. "I enjoyed kissing you, if you must know. In fact, I enjoyed it a little too much." Back in his twenties and thirties, Jack might have thought her words were emotional nonsense, the kind of thing women said just to drive men insane. But he understood it better now - or he thought he did. "It's about this Byron guy, isn't it? And your injuries." She looked over at him, then quickly looked away again. "Something like that. I'm just not ready for a relationship yet. ~ Pamela Clare
Esme Byron quotes by Pamela Clare
Or, like the thief of fire from heaven,
Wilt thou withstand the shock?
And share with him, the unforgiven,
His vulture and his rock! ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
What a strange thing is man! And what a stranger is woman. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart
The heart which love of thee alone can bind; And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd
To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
I've brought you Byron--always makes things better. ~ Gail Carriger
Esme Byron quotes by Gail Carriger
May Moorland weavers boast Pindaric skill, And tailors' lays be longer than their bill! While punctual beaux reward the grateful notes, And pay for poems
when they pay for coats. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new Thermopylae! ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
A lover of what is looks forward to everything: life, death, disease, loss, earthquakes, bombs, anything the mind might be tempted to call 'bad.' Life will bring us everything we need, to show us what we haven't undone yet. Nothing outside ourselves can make us suffer. Except for our unquestioned thoughts, every place is paradise. ~ Byron Katie
Esme Byron quotes by Byron Katie
It's not easy to find your own way when you believe that you need love, approval, appreciation, or anything from your family. It's particularly hard when you want them to see things your way. ~ Byron Katie
Esme Byron quotes by Byron Katie
Censure no more shall brand my humble name
The child of passion and the fool of fame ~ George Gordon Byron
Esme Byron quotes by George Gordon Byron
I am no Platonist, I am nothing at all; but I would sooner be a Paulician, Manichean, Spinozist, Gentile, Pyrrhonian, Zoroastrian, than one of the seventy-two villainous sects who are tearing each other to pieces for the love of the Lord and hatred of each other. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
Happiness is a clear mind. A clear and sane mind knows how to live, how to work, what emails to send, what phone calls to make, and what to do do to create what it wants without fear. ~ Byron Katie
Esme Byron quotes by Byron Katie
Just as I had formed a tolerable establishment my travels commenced, and on my return I find all to do over again; my former flock were all scattered; some married, not before it was needful. ~ George Gordon Byron
Esme Byron quotes by George Gordon Byron
In hope to merit heaven by making earth a hell. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
But I being fond of true philosophy,
Say very often to myself, 'Alas!
All things that have been born were born to die,
And flesh (which Death mows down to hay) is grass;
You've pass'd your youth not so unpleasantly,
And if you had it o'er again - 't would pass -
So thank your stars that matters are no worse,
And read your Bible, sir, and mind your purse. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
I stood in Venice, on the Bridge of Sighs, A palace and a prison on each hand. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
We can't all be Byronic adventurers like you Jude. Have you been wrestling with any brigands in the mountains there?"
"No, but you've got to watch the drivers! Funny you should mention the poetic lord. He used to take his holidays down here, you know?"
"What… picking up last-minute bargains with 'EasyFrigate'? ~ Paul Alkazraji
Esme Byron quotes by Paul Alkazraji
Insanity is arguing with reality. ~ Byron Katie
Esme Byron quotes by Byron Katie
Years steal fire from the mind as vigor from the limb; and life's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim. ~ George Gordon Byron
Esme Byron quotes by George Gordon Byron
It is you who are unpoetical," replied the poet Syme. "If what you say of clerks is true, they can only be as prosaic as your poetry. The rare, strange thing is to hit the mark; the gross, obvious thing is to miss it. We feel it is epical when man with one wild arrow strikes a distant bird. Is it not also epical when man with one wild engine strikes a distant station? Chaos is dull; because in chaos the train might indeed go anywhere, to Baker Street or to Bagdad. But man is a magician, and his whole magic is in this, that he does say Victoria, and lo! it is Victoria. No, take your books of mere poetry and prose; let me read a time table, with tears of pride. Take your Byron, who commemorates the defeats of man; give me Bradshaw, who commemorates his victories. Give me Bradshaw, I say! ~ G.K. Chesterton
Esme Byron quotes by G.K. Chesterton
It is odd but agitation or contest of any kind gives a rebound to my spirits and sets me up for a time. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
Lord Byron doesn't have a life plan. He doesn't have a day plan. I once found a note that he wrote to himself that said: 'put on pants. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
Esme Byron quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading about them, ... that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars have left us. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
Something's going on in Cordell's room, but I'm not sure I want to know what it is. ~ Esme Raji Codell
Esme Byron quotes by Esme Raji Codell
Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with; he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly. ~ Byron Katie
Esme Byron quotes by Byron Katie
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen. ~ Lord Byron
Esme Byron quotes by Lord Byron
THE ANGLER "I live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me; and to me High mountains are a feeling, but the hum Of human cities torture." Byron. ~ Charles Barker Bradford
