Babies

Famous quotes containing the word babies:

“Most of us would do more for our babies than we have ever been willing to do for anyone, even ourselves.”

“Rats!
They fought the dogs and killed the cats,
And bit the babies in the cradles,
And ate the cheeses out of the vats,
And licked the soup from the cooks’ own ladles,
Split open the kegs of salted sprats,
Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats,
And even spoiled the women’s chats
By drowning their speaking
With shrieking and squeaking
In fifty different sharps and flats.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

“He tells me how sweet
The babies look in their hospital
Icebox,”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
