Nourishment

Famous quotes containing the word nourishment:

    While you are nurturing your newborn, you need someone to nurture you, whether it is with healthful drinks while you’re nursing, or with words of recognition and encouragement as you talk about your feelings. In this state of continual giving to your infant—whether it is nourishment or care or love—you are easily drained, and you need to be replenished from sources outside yourself so that you will have reserves to draw from.
    Sally Placksin (20th century)

    I was, being human, born alone;
    I am, being woman, hard beset;
    I live by squeezing from a stone
    The little nourishment I get.
    Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

    We can see that the baby is as much an instrument of nourishment for us as we are for him.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
