"It is not my focus in life to meet other people's priorities or standards.
Neither is it my focus in life to monitor or measure how other people are meeting mine."

Loving People
"I reject the idea that I can't love people whose moral standards are different from my own."

I Care for Myself
"Who in the world cares for you, or who will be injured by what you do?
I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself. I will keep the law given by God . . . Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this . . . If at my individual convenience I might break them, what would be their worth? They have a worth--so I have always believed. Preconceived opinions, foregone determinations, are all I have at this hour to stand by: there I plant my foot."
- Charlotte Bronte in Jane Eyre -
