Birthing Quotes (page 18)

Salman Rushdie quote: "Is birth always a fall?"
Is birth always a fall? Salman Rushdie
I hated men because they didn’t stay around and love me like a father: I could prick holes in them & show they were no father-material. I made them propose and then showed them they hadn’t a chance. I hated men because they didn’t have to suffer like a woman did. They could die or go to Spain. They could have fun while a woman had birth pangs. They could gamble while a woman skimped on the butter on the bread. Men, nasty lousy men. Sylvia Plath
A funeral is not death, any more than baptism is birth or marriage union. All three are the clumsy devices, coming now too late, now too early, by which Society would register the quick motions of man. E. M. Forster
But in the end it wasn't up to me. The bigs things never are. Birth, I mean, and death. And love. And what love bequeaths to us before we're born. Jeffrey Eugenides
Let us be the ones who say we do not accept that a child dies every three seconds simply because he does not have the drugs you and I have.

Why am I as I am? To understand that of any person, his whole life, from. Birth must be reviewed. All of our experiences fuse into our personality. Everything that ever happened to us is an ingredient. Malcolm X
Katherine Mansfield quote: "To acknowledge the presence of fear is to give birth to failure."
To acknowledge the presence of fear is to give birth to failure. Katherine Mansfield
I think there’s no greater joy than completing a song out of thin air. It’s like inventing something, but it’s invisible, you know? It’s weird. It amazes me. You can send it out in the world, and that’s the joy. It’s like giving birth to all these songs and letting them go like they’re your kids. Jason Mraz
There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not... Michel Foucault
Herbert Hoover quote: "Thank God she doesn't have to be confirmed by the Senate.(on..."
Thank God she doesn't have to be confirmed by the Senate.(on the birth of his granddaughter) Herbert Hoover
For the first time in my life I tasted death, and death tasted bitter, for death is birth, is fear and dread of some terrible renewal. Herman Hesse
And when I had learned it, I looked atmy life, and it was also a river, and the boy Siddhartha was onlyseparated from the man Siddhartha and from the old man Siddhartha by ashadow, not by something real. Also, Siddhartha's previous births wereno past, and his death and his return to Brahma was no future. Nothingwas, nothing will be; everything is, everything has existence and ispresent. Herman Hesse
Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. The landscape changes, the people change, our needs change, but the train keeps moving. Life is the train, not the station. Paulo Coelho
Seal'd her minefrom her first sweet breath. Mine, and mine by right, from birth till death. Mine, mine-our fathers have sworn. Alfred Lord Tennyson
i thank You God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes (i who have died am alive again today, and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay great happening illimitably earth) how should tasting touching hearing seeing breathing any--lifted from the no of all nothing--human merely being doubt unimaginable... E. E. Cummings
