Famous quotes containing the words john and/or dickinson:

    Pervading nationalism imposes its dominion on man today in many different forms and with an aggressiveness that spares no one.... The challenge that is already with us is the temptation to accept as true freedom what in reality is only a new form of slavery.
    —Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)

    It dropped so low in my regard
    I heard it hit the ground,
    And go to pieces on the stones
    At bottom of my mind;
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
