Baby

Famous quotes containing the word baby:

    However baby man may brag of his science and skill, and however much, in a flattering future, that science and skill may augment; yet for ever and for ever, to the crack of doom, the sea will insult and murder him, and pulverize the stateliest, stiffest frigate he can make.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Time rushes by and yet time is frozen. Funny how we get so exact about time at the end of life and at its beginning. She died at 6:08 or 3:46, we say, or the baby was born at 4:02. But in between we slosh through huge swatches of time—weeks, months, years, decades even.
    Helen Prejean (b. 1940)

    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)
