Quotation from: Villette

Written by: Charlotte Bronte


All Rome could not put into him bigotry, nor the Propaganda itself
make him a real Jesuit. He was born honest, and not false--artless,
and not cunning--a freeman, and not a slave. His tenderness had
rendered him ductile in a priest's hands, his affection, his
devotedness, his sincere pious enthusiasm blinded his kind eyes
sometimes, made him abandon justice to himself to do the work of
craft, and serve the ends of selfishness; but these are faults so rare
to find, so costly to their owner to indulge, we scarce know whether
they will not one day be reckoned amongst the jewels.
