“You don't see the streets crawling with priests and nuns the way you used to. A lot of the priests go around now in ordinary civilian clothes. And it's hard to distinguish a nun from a housewife anymore except they have a special kind of haircut.”
Frank McCourt
“And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.”

Anna Kournikova
“Nuns fret not at their convent's narrow room;And hermits are contented with their cells.”
William Wordsworth
