Famous quotes containing the word bishop:

    “All my life I have lived and behaved very much like [the] sandpiper—just running down the edges of different countries and continents, “looking for something” ... having spent most of my life timorously seeking for subsistence along the coastlines of the world.”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
