Quotation from: The Professor

Written by: Charlotte Bronte

"Yes."

"And you don't like it?"

"I'd be sorry to like it! A little corrupt, venal,
lord-and-king-cursed nation, full or mucky pride (as they say in
---shire), and helpless pauperism; rotten with abuses, worm-eaten
with prejudices!"

"You might say so of almost every state; there are abuses and
prejudices everywhere, and I thought fewer in England than in
other countries."
