| God could not be everywhere, and therefore He made mothers."
-- Jewish Proverb
"Only in America do these peasants, our mothers, get their hair dyed platinum at the age of sixty, and walk up and down Collins Avenue in Florida in pedal pushers and mink stoles -- and with opinions on every subject under the sun. It isn't their fault they were given a gift like speech -- look, if cows could talk, they would say things just as idiotic."
-- Philip Roth
"Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter."
-- Betty Rollin
"The worker can unionize, go out on strike; mothers are divided from each other in homes, tied to their children by compassionate bonds; our wildcat strikes have most often taken the form of physical or mental breakdown."
-- Adrienne Rich
"Maternity is on the face of it an unsociable experience. The selfishness that a woman has learned to stifle or to dissemble where she alone is concerned, blooms freely and unashamed on behalf of her offspring."
-- Emily James Putnam
"An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy."
-- Spanish Proverb

For that's what a woman, a mother wants -- to teach her children to take an interest in life. She knows it's safer for them to be interested in other people's happiness than to believe in their own."
-- Marguerite Duras
"Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother. Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They can't even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers."
-- Norman Douglas
"There are lots of things that you can brush under the carpet about yourself until you're faced with somebody whose needs won't be put off."
-- Angela Carter
"The kind of power mothers have is enormous. Take the skyline of Istanbul -- enormous breasts, pathetic little willies, a final revenge on Islam. I was so scared I had to crouch in the bottom of the boat when I saw it."
-- Angela Carter
"Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same -- and most mothers kiss and scold together."
-- Pearl S. Buck
"Women know the way to rear up children (to be just). They know a simple, merry, tender knack of tying sashes, fitting baby-shoes, and stringing pretty words that make no sense. And kissing full sense into empty words."
-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons."
-- Napoleon Bonaparte
"When a woman is twenty, a child deforms her; when she is thirty, he preserves her; and when forty, he makes her young again."
-- Leon Blum
"The best thing that could happen to motherhood already has. Fewer women are going into it."
-- Victoria Billings
"The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom."
-- Henry Ward Beecher
