Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or cities:

    “Sister Bernice: I have looked everywhere. In all of the usual places.
    Mother Abbess: Sister Bernice, considering that it’s Maria, I would suggest you look in some place unusual.”
    —Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)

    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
