Solo Home Run

Famous quotes containing the words solo, home and/or run:

“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)

“I like to see a home like this, a home connected with people’s thoughts and work, things they love.”
—Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)

“Adrenalin dispels boredom. Run, you sufferers from ennui! Run for your lives!”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
