History - the devil's scripture
Lord Byron
Image

Lord Byron
Image
Think'st thou there is no tyranny but that Of blood and chains? The despotism of vice-- The weakness and the wickedness of luxury-- The negligence--the apathy--the evils Of sensual sloth--produces ten thousand tyrants, Whose delegated cruelty surpasses The worst acts of one energetic master, However harsh and hard in his own bearing.
Lord Byron

I die but first I have possessed, And come what may, I have been blessed.
Lord Byron
