Additional quotes by Lord Byron

You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?

Sorrow is knowledge: they who know the most
Must mourn the deepest o’er the fatal truth,
The Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.

And he who lieth there was childless. I have dried the fountain of gentle race..
-Cain
