They never fail who die in a great cause. - George Gordon Byron

"If I do not write to empty my mind, I go mad."

"She walks in beauty, like the nightOf cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that's best of dark and brightMeet in her aspect and her eyes..."

"Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves."

"There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything."

"The light of love, the purity of grace,The mind, the Music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonised the whole —And, oh! that eye was in itself a Soul!"
