Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or rearing:
“Queen Jane was in labor
Six weeks and some more;
The women grew wearied,
And the midwife gave o’er.”
—Unknown. The Death of Queen Jane (l. 1–4)
“The cohort that made up the population boom is now grown up; many are in fact middle- aged. They are one reason for the enormous current interest in such topics as child rearing and families. The articulate and highly educated children of the baby boom form a huge, literate market for books on various issues in parenting and child rearing, and, as time goes on, adult development, divorce, midlife crisis, old age, and of course, death.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
