Infant Mortality Rate

    “Let’s face it. With the singular exception of breast-feeding, there is nothing about infant care that a mother is innately better qualified to do than a father. Yet we continue to unconsciously perpetuate the myth that men just don’t have what it takes to be true partners in the process.”
    —Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)

    “The mortality of all inanimate things is terrible to me, but that of books most of all.”
    —William Dean Howells (1837–1920)

    ““Terence, this is stupid stuff:
    You eat your victuals fast enough;
    There can’t be much amiss, ‘tis clear,
    To see the rate you drink your beer.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
