Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or child:

    Man, born of woman, has found it a hard thing to forgive her for giving him birth. The patriarchal protest against the ancient matriarch has borne strange fruit through the years.
    —Lillian Smith (1897–1966)

    Penelope Leach (20th century)
