Famous quotes containing the words live, birth and/or rate:
“The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to mens theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical its because she doesnt quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which mans picture of woman to live up to.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“So immense are the claims on a mother, physical claims on her bodily and brain vigor, and moral claims on her heart and thoughts, that she cannot ... meet them all and find any large margin beyond for other cares and work. She serves the community in the very best and highest way it is possible to do, by giving birth to healthy children, whose physical strength has not been defrauded, and to whose moral and mental nature she can give the whole of her thoughts.”
—Frances Power Cobbe (18221904)
“Terence, this is stupid stuff:
You eat your victuals fast enough;
There cant be much amiss, tis clear,
To see the rate you drink your beer.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
