Famous quotes containing the words eastern, patriarchs and/or major:
“The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“A major difference between witches and psychotherapists is that witches see the mental health of women as having important political consequences.”
