Famous quotes containing the words expecting and/or mother:
“Gradually I regained my usual composure. I reread Pale Fire more carefully. I liked it better when expecting less. And what was that? What was that dim distant music, those vestiges of color in the air? Here and there I discovered in it and especially, especially in the invaluable variants, echoes and spangles of my mind, a long ripplewake of my glory.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“our part
To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last has come
On limbs that had run wild.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
