The basis of your religion is injustice. The Son of God, the pure, the immaculate, the innocent, is sacrificed for the guilty.

More from Lord Byron
"I am a very ambitious man, and I want to be famous, even after my death."
"The Cardinal is at his wit's end - it is true that he had not far to go."
"The greatest minds are those who can be both serious and frivolous."
"I have a great contempt for all women, except for my sister."
"I by no means rank poetry high in the scale of intelligence – this may look like affectation – but it is my real opinion – it is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake."
About Lord Byron (1788-1824)
English Romantic poet whose Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-18) and Don Juan (1819-24) made him a continent-wide celebrity; died at Missolonghi fighting for Greek independence. Closely associated with Percy Bysshe Shelley (Geneva summer companion and fellow second-generation Romantic) and John Keats (younger Romantic Byron mocked but later admired). For an intellectual contrast, see William Wordsworth, Lake Poet of pious nature-worship — Byron's mockery of 'the Lakers' Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey runs through Don Juan as a sustained literary feud across hundreds of stanzas. The cleanest Romantic-internal split between sincere-pastoral and cynical-worldly poetics.
