Famous quotes containing the words american, towers and/or tower:

    An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.
    Susan Faludi (20th century)

    If God made me a princess, why didn’t he take a little more time and make my hair so it wouldn’t snarl?
