Additional quotes by Lord Byron

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

Light be the turf of thy tomb!
May its verdure like emeralds be:
There should not be the shadow of gloom
In aught that reminds us of thee:
Young flowers, and an evergreen tree
May spring from the spot of thy rest;
But not cypress nor yew let us see;
For why should we mourn for the blest?

Soprano, basso, even the contra-alto, Wished him five fathom under the Rialto.
