Famous quotes containing the words effects and/or pregnancy:

    Consider what effects which might conceivably have practical bearings we conceive the object of our conception to have. Then our conception of these effects is the whole of our conception of the object.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

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