Random quote of the day:
"It is useless to tell me not to reason, but to believe. You might as well tell a man not to wake but sleep. And then to bully with torments, and all that! I cannot help thinking that the menace of hell makes as many devils as the severe penal codes of inhuman humanity make villains."
—Lord Byron, Detached Thoughts, in The Works of Lord Byron: Letters and Journals, Vol. 2, ed. Rowland E. Prothero
