Famous quotes containing the words norton and/or simon:

    The question has been asked, “What is a woman?” A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman is a dreamer. A woman is a planner. A woman is a maker, and a molder. A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman builds bridges. A woman makes children and makes cars. A woman writes poetry and songs. A woman is a person who makes choices. You cannot even simply become a mother anymore. You must choose motherhood. Will you choose change? Can you become its vanguard?
    —Eleanor Holmes Norton (b. 1937)

    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)
