Convent Quotes
-
Among their blameworthy excesses, pride of place must go to enclosing innocent women within convent walls under apparently holy (but really wicked) pretexts. Men dare to endanger free will, bestowed on men and women alike by Divine Majesty; they force women to dwell in life-long prisons, although guilty of no fault other than being born the weaker sex.
Arcangela Tarabotti

Come, come, whoever you are, come.
Infidel, idolator, Wanderer, fire-worshipper, it doesn't matter, come.
Ours is not a convent of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times,
Come, come again.
Rumi

The heart of a girl is like a convent--the holier the cloister, the more charitable the door.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
