Jonathan Firth: Lord Byron

Quotes

  Adam Pierson : You're not listening to me, I don't want a tombstone.

• Lord Byron : My task is done. My song has ceased. My theme has died into an echo... It is fit.

• Lord Byron : You're the guy in the audience, and I'm the guy on the flying trapeze, who do you think's having more fun?

  Adam Pierson : Who do you think will live the longest?

  Lord Byron : Who cares?

  Adam Pierson : You used to care... there was a time when you were reaching for the heavens.

  Lord Byron : There is no Heaven, only an illusion for fools and innocents.

• Lord Byron : Life, my friend, is in the details.
