—Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
“We should always be prepared so as never to err to believe that what I see as white is black, if the hierarchic Church defines it thus.”
—Ignatius Of Loyola (1491–1556)
“If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.”
