In 'Hell Ride,' I play a biker - it's about the bikers. It's with Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen, Larry Bishop and myself. We're bikers, and I play Billy Wings I've got all sorts of wings, and you have to watch the movie to find out what the wings are about.

I reckon some parsons have a right to tell yu' to be good. The bishop of this hyeh Territory has a right. But I'll tell yu' this: a middlin' doctor is a pore thing, and a middlin' lawyer is a pore thing but keep me from a middlin' man of God.

Many priests say that retirement is more identified with freedom from meetings, budgets, personnel conflicts, and dealing with the Chancery. Even as I struggled not to take that last point too personally, I was reminded that I have heard the same sentiment from many of my bishop friends as well!
Wilton Daniel Gregory

Brothers and sisters, good evening. You all know that the duty of the conclave was to give a bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother cardinals have gone almost to the ends of the earth to get him... but here we are.
Pope Francis

There was a state without king or nobles there was a church without a bishop there was a people governed by grave magistrates which it had selected, and by equal laws which it had framed.

The knight is renowned for, among other things, its suitability as a blockader ... Because its strength lies in short-range operations it is not uncomfortable standing in a single spot for long periods, as the Bishop is.
Samuel Reshevsky

As Rousseau could not compose without his cat beside him, so I cannot play chess without my king's bishop. In its absense the game to me is lifeless and void. The vitalizing factor is missing, and I can devise no plan of attack.

I don't think, he said, that a vicar is supposed to beat a bishop to death, or even back to death. Mr. Berkeley looked down upon the remains of Bishop Bernard. If anyone asks, we'll say he fell over, he said. Lots of times.
John Connolly
