Baby

Famous quotes containing the word baby:

    With its baby rivers and little towns, each with its abbey or its cathedral,
    with voices—one voice perhaps, echoing through the transept—The
    criterion of suitability and convenience.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    The trouble with grown-ups was that under the magnificent shell of adulthood, just under,
    Waited the baby full of tantrums.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    A baby is a full time job for three adults. Nobody tells you that when you’re pregnant, or you’d probably jump off a bridge. Nobody tells you how all-consuming it is to be a mother—how reading goes out the window and thinking too.
    Erica Jong (20th century)
