Superstitions, bigotries, hypocrisies, prejudices, these phantoms, phantoms though they be, cling to life they have teeth and nails in their shadowy substance, and we must grapple with them individually and make war on them without truce for it is one of humanity's inevitabilities to be condemned to eternal struggle with phantoms.
Victor Hugo

I bring you this stately matron named Christendom, returning bedraggled, besmirched, and dishonored from pirate raids in Kiao-Chow, Manchuria, South Africa, and the Phillipines, with her soul full of meanness, her pocket full of boodle, and her mouth full of pious hypocrisies. Give her soap and a towel, but hide the looking-glass.
Mark Twain

Thomas Otway
