Quotes

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.

~Charlotte Brontë

How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about [arithmetic], and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe?  How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone?  No; a woman's function is laborious because it is gigantic, not because it is minute.

~G.K. Chesterton
