Unborn Children

Famous quotes containing the words unborn and/or children:

    He moved with the shades of the dead and the dead-born and the unborn and the never-to-be-born, in a Limbo purged of desire.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.
    Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
