Famous quotes containing the words effects and/or pregnancy:

    The machines that are first invented to perform any particular movement are always the most complex, and succeeding artists generally discover that, with fewer wheels, with fewer principles of motion, than had originally been employed, the same effects may be more easily produced. The first systems, in the same manner, are always the most complex.
    Adam Smith (1723–1790)

    “What? What appeals to you?”
    when her pregnancy cravings appeared.
    Her gaze merely fell
    on her husband.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
