Forced Win

Famous quotes containing the words forced and/or win:

“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)

“Home is so sad. It stays as it was left,
Shaped to the comfort of the last to go
As if to win them back.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
