Pope Urban I

Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or urban:

    True wit is Nature to advantage dressed,
    What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed;
    Something whose truth convinced at sight we find,
    That gives us back the image of our mind.
    —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)
