I usually claim that pregnant women should not read books about pregnancy and birth. Their time is too precious. They should, rather, watch the moon and sing to their baby in the womb. – Michel Odent
It seems an insult to nature and to the Creator to imagine that pregnancy was ever intended to be a sickness. – MrsE.B. Duffey, What Women Should Know, 1873
It is the sincerest thing I have written, caught by the drama of a soul struggling in the contrary toils of love and religion – death brought them into harmony. – Laurence Housman
The greatest truths are the simplest: so likewise are the greatest men. – Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers
