Long Solo

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or solo:

“We seldom find people ungrateful so long as we are in a condition to render them service.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
