Like other arts and crafts, it is also governed by a theory, by a system of principles which dictate the manner in which the act has to be performed in order to be effective.”
—Bronislaw Malinowski (1984–1942)
“The passion of love is essentially selfish, while motherhood widens the circle of our feelings.”
