Famous quotes containing the words child, conceived and/or wedlock:
“You can read the best experts on child care. You can listen to those who have been there. You can take a whole childbirth and child-care course without missing a lesson. But you won’t really know a thing about yourselves and each other as parents, or your baby as a child, until you have her in your arms. That’s the moment when the lifelong process of bringing up a child into the fold of the family begins.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“The good, the admirable reader identifies himself not with the boy or the girl in the book, but with the mind that conceived and composed that book.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
