Bishop Wears

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or wears:

    Somebody
    arranges the rows of cans
    so that they softly say:
    esso—so—so—so
    to high-strung automobiles.
    Somebody loves us all.
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    Genius is talent provided with ideals. Genius starves while talent wears purple and fine linen. The man of genius of today will in fifty years’ time be in most cases no more than a man of talent.
    Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
