Miraculous Event

Famous quotes containing the words miraculous and/or event:

“Don’t they know that God gave them
their miraculous sickness
like a shield, like armor
and if their eyes are in the wrong
part of their heads, they shouldn’t complain?
What are they doing seeing their doctors
when the world’s up for grabs.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. The same tactic is necessary on terra firma. There’s no way of sustaining our children if we don’t first rescue ourselves. I don’t call that selfish behavior. I call it love.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
