Paper Sons

Famous quotes containing the words paper and/or sons:

    They come on to my clean
    sheet of paper and leave a Rorschach blot.
    They do not do this to be mean,
    they do it to give me a sign....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
