Refused Entry

Famous quotes containing the words refused and/or entry:

    If I have been the source of pain, O God;
    If to the weak I have refused my strength;
    If, in rebellion, I have strayed away;
    Forgive me, God.
    Janet W. May (20th century)

    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)
