About This Quote
In this quote, Lord Byron speaks of how precious life can be. We have all been given a chance to live and we should not waste it by being scared to speak out about the things we want. We have a limited amount of time on this earth, but we can choose to live our lives as if we had an unlimited amount of time. When we do so, we gain a more profound understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
