Nuns fret not at their convent's narrow room And hermits are contented with their cells.
William Wordsworth
Image
Here's to the good Nuns for telling me what books NOT to read!
Robert Anton Wilson
Image
I was a lousy nun. I couldn't do it. I couldn't find God. It wasn't suitable for me. It is suitable for very few people.
Karen Armstrong
Image
I live for now, not for what happens after I die. I'm going to hell, not heaven. The devil has all the good gear. What's God got? The Inspiral Carpets and nuns.
Liam Gallagher
Image
There is no such thing as a value-free concept of deviance to say homosexuals are deviant because they are a statistical minority is, in practice, to stigmatize them. Nuns are rarely classed as deviants for the same reason, although if they obey their vows they clearly differ very significantly from the great majority of people.

It's always a good idea to have a nun next to you when you get arrested!
Shane Claiborne
Image
It is ironic that Samuel Berger learned of this espionage in exactly the same month that Al Gore was attending his now famous fund-raiser with Buddhist nuns in Southern California.
Lamar Alexander

Catholic media sucks. It's boring. It's for old people. It's not interesting. It's like you're in a class with an 80 year old nun.
Lino Rulli

There are a lot of people who had past lives where they were monks and nuns and all their needs were provided for them. I feel like most people in the new age had this as their most recent lifetime experience, that kind of communal living.
Doreen Virtue
Image
Growing up in Asia in a particular time period - the '50s and '60s - I attended a Catholic missionary school where I was taught by nuns and where consciousness of the body was repressed. Yet at the same time, the female body was a highly visible and sensitive site.
Shirley Geok-lin Lim

I loved nuns when I was growing up. I thought they were beautiful. For several years I wanted to be a nun. I saw them as really pure, disciplined, above average people. They had these serene faces. Nuns are sexy.
Madonna Ciccone
Image
There was plenty of dysfunction in my family and I went to Catholic School with these psychotic nuns. I would always try to be funny to lighten the mood.
Downtown Julie Brown
Image
I always had a problem with original sin I always had a problem with the exclusivity of the church and a lot of the things that the nuns taught me.
Susan Sarandon
Image
There are women who love their husbands as blindly, as enthusiastically, and as enigmatically as nuns their cloister.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
Image
I doubt if we nuns are really as self-sacrificing as we must seem to be to you who live in the world. We don't give everything for nothing, you know. The mystery plays fair.
Elizabeth Goudge
Image
The sight of a Black nun strikes their sentimentality and, as I am unalterably rooted in native ground, they consider me a work of primitive art, housed in a magical color the incarnation of civilized, anti-heathenism, and the fruit of a triumphing idea.
Alice Walker
Image
Nigerian nun Bernadette Duru says the African church hierarchy is indifferent to people in rural areas.
Sylvia Poggioli
Image
Vertigo is probably my favourite Hitchcock film and probably one of my favourite films of all time. It's a film that I'm obsessed with. I saw it on its first release in vista vision, projected in vista-vision, at the Capitol Theatre in New York. That moment when the nun comes up in the end... it's just an extraordinary shot.
Martin Scorsese
Image
I'd go down in history for being the most revealing nun ever!
Foxy Brown
Image
Begin your story with a sentence that will immediately grab hold of your listener's ears like a surly nun in a Catholic school.
Amy Sedaris
Image
If you go to any nunnery and ask them what the main obstacle is, they'll always say low self-esteem and lack of confidence. It will take time. But the difference between the first girls from Ladakh who became nuns, to the girls we have now, is very encouraging.
Tenzin Palmo
Image
Commas, like nuns, often travel in pairs.
Mary Norris
Image
I was raised as a Catholic, but I didn't like the Catholic Church at all. I thought the nuns were mean.
Francis Ford Coppola
Image
I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I'm the same: On one hand, I pray on the other hand, I don't believe. I am constantly between the two.
