Famous quotes containing the words john and/or hollander:

    The question confronting the Church today is not any longer whether the man in the street can grasp a religious message, but how to employ the communications media so as to let him have the full impact of the Gospel message.
    —Pope John Paul II (b. 1920)

    Though shoulder, bosom, lip, and knee
    Are praised in every kind of art,
    Here is love’s true anatomy:
    His rib is gone; he’ll have her heart.
    —John Hollander (b. 1929)
