Justice and mercy Quote by Jennifer Crusie

““She gave Rachel her usual obsessively loving smile, including Phin in it, too, as her future son-in-law. Such a nice couple , her smile said. What lovely grandchildren they'll give me. And they'll live right next door. Phin's answering smile said, Not a chance in hell , while Rachel gazed at Justice and Mercy, pretending she'd never heard of pornography or sex, or Phin, for that matter.””

Religion consists in a round of observances that have no relation whatever to natural goodness, but which rather exclude it by being a substitute for it. Penances and pilgrimages take the place of justice and mercy, benevolence and charity. Such a…
