From the novel Middlemarch by George Elliot.
"Notions and scruples [are] like spilt needles, making one afraid of treading, or sitting down, or even eating."

"They [Evangelicalists] are a narrow ignorant set, and do more to make their neighbors uncomfortable than to make them better....Their system is a sort of worldly-spiritual cliqueism. They really look on the rest of mankind as a doomed carcass which is to nourish them for heaven"

Do these quotes describe anyone you know? Do they describe you?
