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

Ah, well! when time is flown, how it fled
It is better neither to ask nor tell.
Leave the dead moments to bury their dead.

For only by knowledge of that which is not
Thyself shall thyself be learn'd.

The unknown
Is life to love, religion, poetry.
