Famous quotes containing the words patrick and/or successor:
“The first time many women hold their tiny babies, they are apt to feel as clumsy and incompetent as any man. The difference is that our culture tells them they’re not supposed to feel that way. Our culture assumes that they will quickly learn how to be a mother, and that assumption rubs off on most women—so they learn.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“The name of a successor is like the tolling of my own death-bell!”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
