Brood Nest

Famous quotes containing the words brood and/or nest:

    “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruit worthy of repentance.”
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 3:7-8.

    How then can we account for the persistence of the myth that inside the empty nest lives a shattered and depressed shell of a woman—a woman in constant pain because her children no longer live under her roof? Is it possible that a notion so pervasive is, in fact, just a myth?
    Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
