"Conscience was the barmaid of the Victorian soul.……" — C. E. M. Joad

"Conscience was the barmaid of the Victorian soul. Recognizing that human beings were fallible and that their failings, though regrettable, must be humored, conscience would permit, rather ungraciously perhaps, the indulgence of a number of carefully selected desires."

— C. E. M. Joad
