Famous quotes containing the words health and/or scare:
“At last I feel the equal of my parents. Knowing you are going to have a child is like extending yourself in the world, setting up a tent and saying “Here I am, I am important.” Now that I’m going to have a child it’s like the balance is even. My hand is as rich as theirs, maybe for the first time. I am no longer just a child.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 5 (1978)
“I scare him to death, I don’t have to kill him to death.”
—Willis Cooper. Rowland V. Lee. Ygor (Bela Lugosi)
