If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being pregnant is the most natural thing our bodies can do. Our grandparents did it without all these books, and they came out okay.
When you're pregnant, you go out and buy every single book; you have this stack of books on your nightstand, but there was nothing that was preparing me for anything even remotely resembling what my life was going to look like.
I think I would have written more books if I'd had fewer kids or had them earlier, but I think the books in general would have had a little less spark to them.
Most every book I bring into the world is like birthing a baby; it's a lot of effort!
Books are our umbilical cord to life. They connect us deeply, and with more meaning, to the world. They aren't about escaping from ourselves but expanding ourselves and finding within us the tools we need to survive.
Books are magic: you never know where they're going to end up.
Books are finished.
The books one has written in the past have two surprises in store: one couldn't write them again, and wouldn't want to.
Writing books is the closest men ever come to childbearing.
Completing a book, it's a little like having a baby.
