We are constantly being surprised that people did things well before we were born.

We can't understand when we're pregnant, or when our siblings are expecting, how profound it is to have a shared history with a younger generation: blood, genes, humor. It means we were actually here, on Earth, for a time - like the Egyptians with their pyramids, only with children.

We were born with a capacity to grow, love, marry, and form families.

Our ancestors always thought of the worst thing that could happen, and that's why we're alive.

To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.

Isn't it true that the fault of birth rests somewhat on the child? I believe it's we who led our parents on to bear us, and it's our unborn children who make our flesh itch.

My life before children I don't really remember. I've heard references to it, but I really don't remember.

We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.

I believe in superstitions. You don't talk about a child who hasn't been born.

We are the first generation of human beings to have substantial insights into the origin of our cosmos and of human life in it.
