Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or buddha:
“However diligent she may be, however dedicated, no mother can escape the larger influences of culture, biology, fate . . . until we can actually live in a society where mothers and children genuinely matter, ours is an essentially powerless responsibility. Mothers carry out most of the work orders, but most of the rules governing our lives are shaped by outside influences.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cavea tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the way of man, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown.And wewe still have to vanquish his shadow, too.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
