Famous quotes containing the words die and/or preparation:
“You shall not leave. You are bound to me. You shall die as you are bidden to die.”
—Pat Fielder. Paul Landres. Dracula (Francis Lederer)
“It’s sad but true that if you focus your attention on housework and meal preparation and diapers, raising children does start to look like drudgery pretty quickly. On the other hand, if you see yourself as nothing less than your child’s nurturer, role model, teacher, spiritual guide, and mentor, your days take on a very different cast.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
