Famous quotes containing the words birth and/or weight:

    “For birth was a disease and Christopher and I invented the cure.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “as his weight wilts
    and he is on a porch
    that won’t hold my arms,
    or the legs of the race run
    forwards, or the film
    played backwards on his grandson’s eyes.”
    —Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
