More quotes by Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

"Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last."
"My help had been needed and claimed; I had given it: I was pleased to have done something: trivial, transitory though the deed was, it was yet an active thing, and I was weary of an existence all passive."
"Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs."
"Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones."
"Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last."
