    How can one explain all the time and thought that goes into raising a child, all the opportunities for mistakes, all the chances to recover and try again? How does one break the news that nothing permanent can be formed in an instant—children are not weaned, potty trained, taught manners, introduced to civilization in one or two tries—as everyone imagined.
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    I met with virgins seven,
    And one of them was Mary mild,
    Our Lord’s mother from heaven.
    Unknown. The Seven Virgins (l. 2–4)

    ... self-determination and self-defense go hand in hand.
    Anonymous, U.S. woman. As quoted in Fugitive Information, ch. 8, by Kay Leigh Hagan (1993)

    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.
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
