Famous quotes containing the words small, icy and/or moons:

    To get time for civic work, for exercise, for neighborhood projects, reading or meditation, or just plain time to themselves, mothers need to hold out against the fairly recent but surprisingly entrenched myth that “good mothers” are constantly with their children. They will have to speak out at last about the demoralizing effect of spending day after day with small children, no matter how much they love them.
    —Wendy Coppedge Sanford. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, introduction (1978)

    If we shake hands with icy fingers, it is because we’ve burnt them so hatefully before.
    Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

    Since moons decay and suns decline,
    How else should end this life of mine?
    John Masefield (1878–1967)
