A couple of cool quotes from Jane Eyre:

"Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last."

"If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should- so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again."
