Famous quotes containing the words catholic and/or school:

    “Every country gets the circus it deserves. Spain gets bullfights. Italy gets the Catholic Church. America gets Hollywood.”
    —Erica Jong (b. 1942)

    “Mary had a little lamb,
    Its fleece was white as snow,
    And every where that Mary went
    The lamb was sure to go;
    He followed her to school one day—
    That was against the rule,
    It made the children laugh and play,
    To see a lamb at school.”
    —Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
