Additional quotes by Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton

But, however we pass Time, he passes still,
Passing away whatever the pastime,
And, whether we use him well or ill,
Some day he gives us the slip for the last time.

Alas! must it be ever so?
Do we stand in our own light, wherever we go,
And fight our own shadows forever?

Genius does what it must, and Talent does what it can.
