“Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness
is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the
mask from the face of the Pharisee, is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown
of Thorns.” ― English novelist Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855), Jane Eyre (1847)Sunday, March 11, 2018
