Famous quotes containing the word birthday:

    Some days your hat’s off to the full-time mothers for being able to endure the relentless routine and incessant policing seven days a week instead of two. But on other days, merely the image of this woman crafting a brontosaurus out of sugar paste and sheet cake for her two-year-old’s birthday drives a stake through your heart.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    the birthday of my life
    Is come, my love is come to me.
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
