There is a certain inescapable attachment. If you are born somewhere and circumstances don't take you away from it, then you grow up and remain within it.

Emotionally, a person is tied to the land of his birth. It's only human.

Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.

As a child, my mother had instilled in me a feeling of being born for a purpose.

My giving birth was nothing when I think about all the people in Sri Lanka that have to give birth in a concentration camp.

To give birth is a fearsome thing; there is no hating the child one has borne even when injured by it.

I was born two months early, and everyone had given up on me. But my mother insisted on my life.

It is not because I do not love my adopted land - it is the natural feeling of one far from home, who remembers those happy, carefree days when life flowed at full tide, without responsibility, flashing past one like the drama in a fascinating story of adventure and romance.

There are unwanted emotions and pain that goes along with any birth.

Birth is really judgy, and people get really opinionated. Everyone's entitled to the experience they want.
