“The most powerful ties are the ones to the people who gave us birth it hardly seems to matter how many years have passed, how many betrayals there may have been, how much misery in the family: We remain connected, even against our wills.”
Anthony Brandt
“Premature birth affects us all. I am proud to be asking people to join me in walking for someone they love, because when we walk for one baby, we are walking to save all babies.”
John Boyd
“I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come.”
Maya Angelou
“Too many people use abortion as a form of birth control. And that's very wrong. I could never, ever have an abortion.”
Brooke Shields
“I was famous from birth”
Peter Fonda
“Pray for us now and at the hour of our birth.”
T.S. Eliot
“If you bring the baby to us within 72 hours of birth and if there is no harm deliberately inflicted after the birth, then we take the baby, we ask no questions, and we're grateful that the baby's life has been saved,”
George Ward
