Famous quotes containing the words year and/or itch:
“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 dont at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
—Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Womens Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
“Grandpa: Penny, why dont you write a play about ism-mania?
Penny: Ism-mania?
Grandpa: Yeah, sure. You know, communism, fascism, voodooism. Everybodys got an ism these days.
Penny: It sounds like an itch or something.
Grandpa: Its just as catching. When things go a little bad these days, you go out and get yourself an ism and youre in business.”
—Robert Riskin (18971955)
