Famous quotes containing the words blessed and/or virgin:
““What must I do to become blessed?” That I do not know, but I say to you: “Be blessed and then do whatever you please.””

“If it were worth while to argue a paradox, one might maintain that nature regards the female as the essential, the male as the superfluity of her world. Perhaps the best starting-point for study of the Virgin would be a practical acquaintance with bees, and especially with queen bees.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
