"There is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?"

- George Byron

About this Quote

This quote by George Byron is a reflection on the concept of living a life of passion. He suggests that it is impossible to live a life of passion in the exact same way that it is impossible to experience a continuous earthquake or an eternal fever. He also questions the practicality of such a life, asking who would ever have the time to shave themselves if they were living in such a state. This quote recommends that although passion is a fundamental part of life, it is not something that can be sustained forever. Rather, it is something that must be experienced in moderation and with practicality in mind.
