Unknown Mother

Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or mother:

    So that this beautiful realm of hers was held in her mind extended, or lengthened: it had been finite, bounded, known utterly and in every detail, self-enclosed ... but now it lapped and rippled out and upwards beyond there into hinterlands that were like unknown possibilities in her own mind.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    The lightning—it is good for you. Your father was Frankenstein, but your mother was the lightning. She has come down to you again.
    W. Scott Darling, and Erle C. Kenton. Ygor (Bela Lugosi)
