Famous quotes containing the words birth and/or lineage:

    “For God, nothing is impossible. And, if he wanted, in the future women would give birth from their ears.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    “I declare
    Two lineages electrify the air,
    That will like pennons from a mast
    Fly over sleep and life and death
    Till sun is powerless to decoy
    A single seed above the earth:
    Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
