Famous quotes containing the words simon and/or white:

    And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
    Jesus loves you more than you will know.
    God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
    Heaven holds a place for those who pray.
    —Paul Simon (b. 1941)

    Every time I embrace a black woman I’m embracing slavery, and when I put my arms around a white woman, well, I’m hugging freedom. The white man forbade me to have the white woman on pain of death.... I will not be free until the day I can have a white woman in my bed.
    Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)
