Nursing Mothers

Famous quotes containing the words nursing and/or mothers:

    There is a certain amount of purpose, acquiescence, and satisfaction in nursing one’s melancholy.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Raising a daughter is an extremely political act in this culture. Mothers have been placed in a no-win situation with their daughters: if they teach their daughters simply how to get along in a world that has been shaped by men and male desires, then they betray their daughters’ potential But, if they do not, they leave their daughters adrift in a hostile world without survival strategies.
    Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
