Birth Quotes (page 9)

Welcome to Barrayar, son. Here you go: have a world of wealth and poverty, wrenching change and rooted history. Have a birth; have two. Have a name. Miles means "soldier," but don't let the power of suggestion overwhelm you. Have a twisted form in a society that loathes and fears the mutations that have been its deepest agony. Have a title, wealth, power, and all the hatred and envy they will draw. Have your body ripped apart and re-arranged. Inherit an array of friends and enemies you never... Lois McMaster Bujold
Alexander Dumas quote: "A man is bound to make for himself in this world, that fortune..."
A man is bound to make for himself in this world, that fortune which heaven had refused him at his birth. Alexander Dumas
We are training not isolated men but a living group of men, - nay, a group within a group. And the final product of our training must be neither a psychologist nor a brickmason, but a man. And to make men, we must have ideals, broad, pure, and inspiring ends of living, - not sordid money-getting, not apples of gold. The worker must work for the lory of his handiwork, not simply for pay; the thinker must think for truth, not for fame. And all this is gained only by human strife and longing; by... W. E. B. Du Bois
During the wars of the Empire, while husbands and brothers were in Germany, anxious mothers gave birth to an ardent, pale, and neurotic generation. Conceived between battles, reared amid the noises of war, thousands of children looked about them with dull eyes while testing their limp muscles. From time to time their blood-stained fathers would appear, raise them to their gold-laced bosoms, then place them on the ground and remount their horses. Alfred de Musset
We are all perfect clocks that the Divinity has set to ticking when, even before birth, the heart explodes into its lifelong dance. Mark Helprin
LADY BRACKNELLThirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years. Lady Dumbleton is an instance in point. To my own knowledge she has been thirty-five ever since she arrived at the age of forty, which was many years ago now. Oscar Wilde
Childhood is not from birth to a certain age when the child is grown, and puts away childish things. Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies. Stephenie Meyer

Between birth and burial, we find ourselves in a comedy of mysteries. Dean Koontz
There are people in other religions who are being led by God’s secret influence to concentrate on those parts of their religion which are in agreement with Christianity, and who thus belong to Christ without knowing it … For example a Buddhist of good will may be led to concentrate more and more on the Buddhist teaching about mercy and to leave in the background (though he might still say he believed) the Buddhist teaching on certain points. Many of the good Pagans long before Christ’s birth... C. S. Lewis
Andrew Marvell quote: "My love is of a birth as rare. As 'tis, for object, strange..."
My love is of a birth as rare. As 'tis, for object, strange and high; It was begotten by Despair. Upon Impossibility. Andrew Marvell
Cormac McCarthy quote: "Uneasy sleeper you will live to see the city of your birth..."
Uneasy sleeper you will live to see the city of your birth pulled down to the last stone. Cormac McCarthy
Walt Whitman quote: "I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-wash'd..."
I pass death with the dying and birth with the new-wash'd babe, and am not contained between my hat and my boots, Walt Whitman
Unfortunately, most people never observe the natural cycle of birth and death. They do not realize that for one living thing to survive, another living thing must die. Temple Grandin
O, were I loved as I desire to be! What is there in the great sphere of the earth, Or range of evil between death and birth, That I should fear, - if I were loved by thee! All the inner, all the outer world of pain, Clear love would pierce and cleave, if thou wert mine; As I have heard that somewhere in the main. Fresh-water springs come up through bitter brine. Alfred Lord Tennyson
The whole life of the individual is nothing but the process of giving birth to himself; indeed, we should be fully born when we die. Erich Fromm
