Inspiring Quotation
An author's works are public property: he who purchases may judge, and publish his opinion if he pleases; and the authors I have endeavoured to commemorate may do by me as I have done by them: I dare say they will succeed better in condemning my scribblings, than in mending their own.

–Lord Byron, Preface to English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.
