Famous quotes containing the words white and/or sister:
“But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
There’s a light and a shadow on every man
Who at last attains his lifted mark—
Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
Elate he never can be;
He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
Sleep in oblivion.—The shark
Glides white through the phosphorus sea.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Sister Bernice: I have looked everywhere. In all of the usual places.
Mother Abbess: Sister Bernice, considering that it’s Maria, I would suggest you look in some place unusual.”
—Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)
