Also, according to

@RobertEllsberg

, here is the most popular quote #DorothyDay never actually said: “Don’t make me a saint. I won’t be so easily dismissed.” (Or did we misquote, Robert?)

I’m afraid this is wrong— it was “Don’t CALL me saint, etc.” the difference is really very significant

Thanks for the correction. But did she or did she not actually say it? Am willing to retweet the correct (mis)quote.

She supposedly said, “Don’t call me a saint. I don’t want to be dismissed that easily.” See my reflections here: americamagazine.org/content/all-th
