Ernest Gaines quote: "Anytime a child is born, the old people look in his face and..."
Anytime a child is born, the old people look in his face and ask him if he's the One. Ernest Gaines
Too much of our history will seem to have taken place in the halls of capitols, where the accusers have mostly been guilty, and so have borne witness to nothing. Wendell Berry
She had been born to cradle other people's children, wear their hand-me-down clothing, eat their leftovers, live on borrowed happiness and grief, grow old beneath other people's roofs, die one day in her miserable little room in the far courtyard in a bed that did not belong to her, and be buried in a common grave in the public cemetery. Isabel Allende
I watched the gorilla's eyes again, wise and knowing eyes, and wondered about this business of trying to teach apes language. Our language. Why? There are many members of our own species who live in and with the forest and know it and understand it. We don't listen to them. What is there to suggest we would listen to anything an ape could tell us? Or that it would be able to tell us of its life in a language that hasn't been born of that life? I thought, maybe it is not that they have yet to... Douglas Adams
Charlie Chaplin quote: "From such trivia, I believe my soul was born."

Sweet Christ, you must know that a man will go further for any poem than for any woman ever born. Charles Bukowski
Angelus Silesius quote: "If Christ were born in Bethlehem a thousand times and not in..."
If Christ were born in Bethlehem a thousand times and not in thee thyself; then art thou lost eternally. Angelus Silesius
Trouble is we end up being worse at saying things well. It's got to be an inborn fault. Naturally, everyone's got faults. My biggest fault is that the faults i was born with grow bigger each year. Haruki Murakami
Herb Brooks quote: "You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here. This..."
You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here. This is your time. Now get out there and take it. Herb Brooks
What the Chronics are - or most of us - are machines with flaws inside that can't be repaired, flaws born in, or flaws beat in over so many years of the guy running head-on into solid things that by the time the hospital found him he was bleeding rust in some vacant lot. Ken Kesey
I am but too conscious of the fact that we are born in an age when only the dull are treated seriously, and I live in terror of not being misunderstood. Don't degrade me into the position of giving you useful information. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. Oscar Wilde
Erma Bombeck quote: "Giving birth is little more than a set of muscular..."
Giving birth is little more than a set of muscular contractions granting passage of a child. Then the mother is born. Erma Bombeck
It makes me really sad that women have been ejected from the seat of their power in this society in terms of what happens around childbirth. In other parts of the world, there are places where women can't drive a car, but they're still in charge of childbirth... The minute my child was born, I was reborn as a feminist. It's so incredible what women do. I find it metaphorically resonant that a pregnant woman looks like she's just sitting on a couch, but she's actually exhausting herself... Ani DiFranco
Can you catch the expression of the Sperm Whale's there? It is the same he died with, only some of the longer wrinkles in the forehead seem now faded away. I think his broad brow to be full of a prairie-like placidity, born of a speculative indifference as to death. But mark the other head's expression. See that amazing lower lip, pressed by accident against the vessel's side, as as firmly to embrace the jaw. Does not this whole head seem to speak of an enormous practical resolution in facing... Herman Melville
This woman was so ugly and stupid, she probably never should have been born. And yet Wait was the second person to have married her. Kurt Vonnegut
