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."
"Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour ... If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?"
"Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last."
"All my heart is yours, sir: it belongs to you; and with you it would remain, were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence forever."
"It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it."
