Dirt/health

Famous quotes containing the words dirt and/or health:

    Nothing would give up life;
    Even the dirt kept breathing a small breath.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    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)
