Pope Innocent II

Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or innocent:

    Happy the man whose wish and care
    A few paternal acres bound,
    Content to breathe his native air
    In his own ground:

    And into the gulf between cantankerous reality and the male ideal of shaping your world, sail the innocent children. They are right there in front of us—wild, irresponsible symbols of everything else we can’t control.
