Cardinal Bishop

Famous quotes containing the words cardinal and/or bishop:

    In nothing was slavery so savage and relentless as in its attempted destruction of the family instincts of the Negro race in America. Individuals, not families; shelters, not homes; herding, not marriages, were the cardinal sins in that system of horrors.
    Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)

    O falling fire and piercing cry
    and panic, and a weak mailed fist
    clenched ignorant against the sky!
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
