“Self-righteousness is much like a spiritual egocentricity. It constitutes a secular type of love that thrives under conditionality, one in which is only existent after an individual meets the adopted standards of the condemner; oppositely, unconditional love is a holy love.”
- Criss Jami, Salomé: In Every Inch In Every Mile
“Time and time again does the pride of man influence his very own fall. While denying it, one gradually starts to believe that he is the authority, or that he possesses great moral dominion over others, yet it is spiritually unwarranted. By that point he loses steam; in result, he falsely begins trying to prove that unwarranted dominion by seizing the role of a condemner.”
- Criss Jami, Salomé: In Every Inch In Every Mile
"You are manipulative, self righteous and selfish..all the while pretending to care. Why are we friends again?"

"The self-righteous rule out the possibility that they are what has gone wrong."

"Honesty is the cruelest game of all, because not only can you hurt someone and hurt them to the bone, you can feel self righteous about it at the same time."
- Dave Van Ronk
“Despite all claims to the contrary, we have not been called by God to be inspectors of others production or quality of 'fruit'.”
