Famous quotes containing the words major and/or events:

    Let’s just call what happened in the eighties the reclamation of motherhood . . . by women I knew and loved, hard-driving women with major careers who were after not just babies per se or motherhood per se, but after a reconciliation with their memories of their own mothers. So having a baby wasn’t just having a baby. It became a major healing.
    Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)

    All strange and terrible events are welcome,
    But comforts we despise.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
