“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: The soul that rises with us, our life's star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar. Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory, do we come From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy.”
William Wordsworth
“Life is a flame that is always burning itself out, but it catches fire again every time a child is born”
“In the sheltered simplicity of the first days after a baby is born, one sees again the magical closed circle, the miraculous sense of two people existing only for each other.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“Poverty is a lot like childbirth - you know it is going to hurt before it happens, but you'll never know how much until you experience it.”
Joanne Kathleen Rowling
“I loved having my baby inside of me, but I was very happy when he was finally here.”
