Horace quote: "Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.(Mountains are in..."
Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.(Mountains are in labour, a ridiculous mouse will be born) Horace
That God lets himself be born and becomes a human being, is no idle whim, something that occurs to him so as to have something to do, perhaps to put a stop to the boredom that has brashly been said to be bound up with being God-it is not to have an adventure. No, the fact that God does this is the seriousness of existence. And the seriousness in this seriousness is, in turn, that each shall have an opinion about it. Soren Kierkegaard
Why must everything be repeat and repeat, never finish, never resting? You work so hard one day, but the next day you must only work again. You eat, but the next day, you are already hungry. You find love, then love goes away. You are born with nothing, you work hard, then you die with nothing. You are young, then you are old. No matter how hard you work, you cannot stop getting old. - Wayan Elizabeth Gilbert
...the twins too, they've never cared a hoot what they looked like. They spent so much time staring at each other's faces before they were born they can go the rest of their lives passing up mirrors without a glance. Barbara Kingsolver
Harper Lee quote: "I was born good but had grown progressively worse every year. ..."
I was born good but had grown progressively worse every year. Scout Harper Lee

There's lots of things you don't know. All kinds of strange things . . . mostly they happened before we were born: that makes them seem to me so much more real. Truman Capote
When you want something bad, you'll tell yourself a thousand lies. Like: The fifth time's the charms. Like: Things between Zoe and me will be better once the baby's born. Like: One sip isn't going to kill me. Jodi Picoult

Eugene O'Neill quote: "I knew it. I knew it. Born in a hotel room - and God damn it -..."
I knew it. I knew it. Born in a hotel room - and God damn it - died in a hotel room. Eugene O'Neill
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Richard Dawkins
To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous. John Steinbeck
If I imagine the genesis of a novelist in the form of an exemplary tale, a "myth," that genesis looks to me like a conversion story: Saul becoming Paul; the novelist being born from the ruins of his lyrical world. Milan Kundera
Edna St. Vincent Millay quote: "I, being born a woman and distressed By all the needs and..."
I, being born a woman and distressed By all the needs and notions of my kind... Edna St. Vincent Millay
