This is what makes your self respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness. Hunter S. Thompson

Anne Lamott

Remember this, for it is as true and true gets Your body is not a lemon. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic.

Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body. Ina May Gaskin

Help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers. May Sarton
Men were created before women. But that doesn’t prove their superiority rather, it proves ours, for they were born out of the lifeless earth in order that we could be born out of living flesh. And what’s so important about this priority in creation, anyway? When we are building, we lay foundations on the ground first, things of no intrinsic merit or beauty, before subsequently raising up sumptuous buildings and ornate palaces. Lowly seeds are nourished in the earth, and then later the ravishing blooms appear; lovely roses blossom forth and scented narcissi. Moderata Fonte
God is the most ancient of all things, for he had no birth. Thales
At the end of the day your ability to connect with your readers comes down to how you make them feel. Benjamin J. Carey

Not a dawn groggy with lack of sleep or hectic with mindless obligations and you about to rush off on an early adventure or business, but full of deep silence and absolute clarity of perception? A dawning which you truly observe, degree by degree. It is the most amazing moment of birth. And more than anything it can spur you to action. Have a burning day. Vera Nazarian
Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death. Albert Einstein
Endless moons, an opaque universe, thunder, tornadoes, the quaking earth. Rare moments of peace; forehead up against my knees, arms around my head, I thought, I listened, I longed not to exist. But life was there, a transparent pearl, a star revolving slowly on its own axis. Shan Sa
Shadow owes its birth to light. John Gay
I am human. Like all humans, I do not remember my birth. By the time we wake up to ourselves, we are little children, and our advent is something that happened an eternity ago, at the beginning of time. We live like latecomers to the theater; we must catch up as best we can, divining the begging from the shape of later events. Diane Setterfield
There is no birth of consciousness without pain. Carl Jung
I took the life of the woman I was supposed to call mother in the process of being born in order to become the world’s strongest shinobi an incarnation of sand was implanted inside of me. Masashi Kishimoto

They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it’s night once more. Samuel Beckett
The heart is capable of sacrifice. So is the vagina. The heart is able to forgive and repair. It can change it’s shape to let us in. It can expand to let us out. So can the vagina. It can ache for us and stretch for us, die for us and bleed and bleed us into this difficult, wondrous world. So can the vagina. I was there in the room. I remeber. Eve Ensler
TV gives everyone an image, but radio gives birth to a million images in a million brains. Peggy Noonan
It was no accident, no coincidence, that the seasons came round and round year after year. It was the Lord speaking to us all and showing us over and over again the birth, life, death, and resurrection of his only begotten Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, our Lord. It was like a best loved story being told day after day with each sunrise and sunset, year after year with the seasons, down through the ages since time began. Francine Rivers

New Year’s Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change. Sarah Ban Breathnach
Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength. Barbara Katz Rothman

Our birth is nothing but our death begun, As tapers waste the moment they take fire. Edward Young
There are those wonderful moments of clarity in life when one is reminded how irreparably flawed we humans are. Once, when I was nineteen, on the subway in Boston I lost my balance slightly and bumped into an elderly woman. I quickly apologized and she replied, Well, hold on to something, stupid. There it is. That’s it. That’s it in a nutshell. I don’t want to sound negative, but I think every fetus should be shown a film of that incident, maybe projected up on the uterine wall, and then asked if it wants to come out. I am a strong believer in a woman’s right to choose, but I also think that in the last trimester, the kid should be given every opportunity to back out. Paula Poundstone
The greatest difficulty always comes right before the birth of a dream. Joel Osteen
How you approach birth is intimately connected with how you approach life. William Sears

Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born as I have been informed and believe on a Friday, at twelve o’clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously. Charles Dickens
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country. Thomas Jefferson
You were born a winner, a warrior, one who defied the odds by surviving the most gruesome battle of them all the race to the egg.

And whatever obstacles you conceive, exist only because you have forgotten what you have already achieved. Suzy Kassem
Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth look at the dying man’s struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment. Soren Kierkegaard

Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved. Mark Twain

Failing to listen to the woman is one of the biggest mistakes a practitioner can make. Helen Varney
One year they asked me to be poster boy for birth control. Rodney Dangerfield
It is as great a crime to leave a woman alone in her agony and deny her relief from her suffering as it is to insist upon dulling the consciousness of a natural mother who desires above all things to be aware of the final reward of her efforts, whose ambition is to be present, in full possession of her senses, when the infant she already adores greets her with its first loud cry and the soft touch of its restless body upon her limbs. Grantly Dick Read
