Bishop James

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or james:

    Whether they knew or not,
    Goldsmith and Burke, Swift and the Bishop of Cloyne
    All hated Whiggery; but what is Whiggery?
    A levelling, rancorous, rational sort of mind
    That never looked out of the eye of a saint
    Or out of drunkard’s eye.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I suppose one has a greater sense of intellectual degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience.
    —Alice James (1848–1892)
