Famous quotes containing the words mother goose, list of, list, mother and/or goose:

    “There was an old woman and she lived in a shoe,
    She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.
    She crumm’d ‘em some porridge without any bread
    And she borrowed a beetle, and she knocked ‘em all on the head.
    Then out went the old woman to bespeak ‘em a coffin
    And when she came back she found’ em all a-loffing.”
    —Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. There was an old woman who lived in a shoe (l. 1–6)

    “My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    “Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.”
    —Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    “The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.”
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    “My neighbors tell me of their adventures with famous gentlemen and ladies, what notabilities they met at the dinner-table; but I am no more interested in such things than in the contents of the Daily Times. The interest and the conversation are about costume and manners chiefly; but a goose is a goose still, dress it as you will.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
