Famous quotes containing the words catholic and/or school:

    “You do not mean by mystery what a Catholic does. You mean an interesting uncertainty: the uncertainty ceasing interest ceases also.... But a Catholic by mystery means an incomprehensible certainty: without certainty, without formulation there is no interest;... the clearer the formulation the greater the interest.”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “One non-revolutionary weekend is infinitely more bloody than a month of permanent revolution.”
    —Graffiti, School of Oriental Languages, London (1968)
