Mother is the first word that occurs to politicians and columnists and popes when they raise the question, 'Why isn't life turning out the way we want it?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Mother set impossibly high standards for us, creating tremendous pressures and undermining our ability to accomplish whatever modest aims we may have set for ourselves.
I think as mothers we are all just trying our best.
Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.
Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president, but they don't want them to become politicians in the process.
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
Very often, people talk about mothers, and they think that mother has to lose her sexuality. Mother has to be plain. Mothers cannot be exciting. Mother should not be up on what's going on; she shouldn't know the jargon of the day. And I just find that so old-fashioned!
I believe that bringing a life into this world is the single most important thing a person can undertake, and it can also be the most challenging. I think as mothers we are all just trying our best.
A mother is a mother still, The holiest thing alive.
Becoming a mother cannot help but change things. An author's life is reflected in their writing, whether they want it to be or not, and parenthood is one of the biggest life changes there is.
The question of peace, progress and prosperity, it's a motherhood statement, all of us like it.
