Famous quotes containing the words assessment, orders and/or form:

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)

    Selflessness is like waiting in a hospital
    In a badly-fitting suit on a cold wet morning.
    Selfishness is like listening to good jazz
    With drinks for further orders and a huge fire.

    Still was the human form divine
    Weeping in weak & mortal clay;
    O Jesus, still the form was thine!
    William Blake (1757–1827)
