Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or urban:

    “Most souls, ‘tis true, but peep out once an age,
    Dull sullen pris’ners in the body’s cage:
    Dim lights of life, that burn a length of years,
    Useless, unseen, as lamps in sepulchres;”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “A peasant becomes fond of his pig and is glad to salt away its pork. What is significant, and is so difficult for the urban stranger to understand, is that the two statements are connected by an and and not by a but.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)
