Quote by Lord (George Gordon) Byron

Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.

Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late

Summary

This quote suggests that late-in-life love is comparable to a dangerous outbreak of measles. It implies that when individuals experience love later in life, they may be more vulnerable to its potential negative effects. Just as the measles can be more severe and detrimental to an adult than a child, love that comes later in life may bring its own set of complications and risks. It may hint at the idea that embracing love later in life could disrupt the established equilibrium or cause greater turmoil, leading to potential harm.

Pain is good, I'd say, when it's incidental to Love. In 'I give up my life for my friend' it is my friend, not my death, that matters. And sometimes I needn't give up my life for him, I can live for him, and with him, and the power of the spirit is then equally manifested, I should think.

The people in power will not disappear voluntarily, giving flowers to the cops just isn't going to work. This thinking is fostered by the establishment; they like nothing better than love and nonviolence. The only way I like to see cops given flowers is in a flower pot from a high window.

I get a lot of the ideas when I'm resting - either when I'm meditating or getting some kind of work done on my back, like physical therapy or acupuncture. That's where I get my best ideas, maybe because I'm balancing my body.
