O honorable strumpet

Summary

This quote requires a context in order to be fully explained, as it is a line taken from a play or literature. Without further details, one possible interpretation is that the phrase "honorable strumpet" seems contradictory, as it combines an honored or respected person ('honorable') with a derogatory term ('strumpet' meaning prostitute). This could be a sarcastic or ironic remark meant to point out hypocrisy or deceit within society, where individuals perhaps project respectability outwardly while engaging in immoral acts privately.

So I do not promise to consider race or religion in my appointments if I am successful. I promise only that I will not consider them.

There are some promotions in life, which, independent of the more substantial rewards they offer, acquire peculiar value and dignity from the coats and waistcoats connected with them. A field-marshal has his uniform; a bishop his silk apron; a counsellor his silk gown; a beadle his cocked hat. Strip the bishop of his apron, or the beadle of his hat and lace; what are they? Men. Mere men. Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.

People relate to each other in new ways, posing questions about how we should respond to people when all that we know about them is what we have learned through a medium that permits all kinds of anonymity and deception.
