Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or owen:

    “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 don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)

    “Was it for this the clay grew tall?
    MO what made fatuous sunbeams toil
    To break earth’s sleep at all?”
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
