“Consistency, madam, is the first of Christian duties.” — Charlotte Bronte

If you are cast in a different mould to the majority, it is no merit of yours: Nature did it.

There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.

It is 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.

Conventionality is not morality.
