Famous quotes containing the words baby and/or blood:
“The myths about what we’re supposed to feel as new mothers run strong and deep. . . . While joy and elation are surely present after a new baby has entered our lives, it is also within the realm of possibility that other feelings might crop up: neediness, fear, ambivalence, anger.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“Art thou some god, some angel, or some devil,
That mak’st my blood cold, and my hair to stare?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
