Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. [...] they are as distinct as is vice from virtue. [...] appearance should not be mistaken for truth; narrow human doctrines [...] should not be substituted for the world-redeeming creed of Christ.
- Charlotte Brontë, Author's preface to the second edition of Jane Eyre, 1847.
That is my quote of the day...
And I am ashamed that I am going to say such banalities after such a quotation, but: I am really tired, and I am kind of upset about what I am going to wear tomorrow. No, I'm not some spoiled, rich girl, thinking about whether I should wear Jimmy Choo or Chanel to university tomorrow... It's just that the god-awful dress code of the aforementioned institution leaves me with no clothes to wear whatsoever after four days. (From which you can infer, and quite correctly, that no, I don't have a closet quite like Carrie Bradshaw's).
Sorry for the rant ¬.¬
