Tar Baby

Famous quotes containing the words tar and/or baby:

    A thorough tar is unfit for any thing else; and what is more, this fact is the best evidence of his being a true sailor.

    The myths about what we’re supposed to feel as new mothers run strong and deep. . . . While joy and elation are surely present after a new baby has entered our lives, it is also within the realm of possibility that other feelings might crop up: neediness, fear, ambivalence, anger.
    Sally Placksin (20th century)
