Nun Appleton

Famous quotes containing the words nun and/or appleton:

    The sight of a Black nun strikes their sentimentality; and, as I am unalterably rooted in native ground, they consider me a work of primitive art, housed in a magical color; the incarnation of civilized, anti-heathenism, and the fruit of a triumphing idea.
    Alice Walker (b. 1944)

    Good Americans, when they die, go to Paris.
    —Thomas Appleton (1812–1884)
