Famous quotes containing the words short and/or cervix:
“The long time to come when I shall not exist has more effect on me than this short present time, which nevertheless seems endless.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
“Our Lamaze instructor . . . assured our class . . . that our cervix muscles would become “naturally numb” as they swelled and stretched, and deep breathing would turn the final explosions of pain into “manageable discomfort.” This descriptions turned out to be as accurate as, say a steward advising passengers aboard the Titanic to prepare for a brisk but bracing swim.”
