Birth Mother

Famous quotes containing the words birth and/or mother:

“Some say that ever ‘gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour’s birth is celebrated,
This bird of dawning singeth all night long,
And then they say no spirit dare stir abroad,
The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallowed, and so gracious, is that time.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Nothing is quite so horrifying and paralyzing as to win the Oedipal struggle and to be awarded your mother as the prize.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
