Here are some more quotes I like:
It is a law of human life, as certain as gravity; to live fully we must learn to use things and love people...not love things and use people
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle- Gloria Steinem.
` Pregnancy itself is a symbol of deep hospitality. It is the giving of one's
body to the life of another. It is a sharing of all we have , our cell
structure, our blood stream, our food, our oxygen. It is saying "welcome"
with every breath and every heart beat.
And for many mothers that welcome is given irrespective of the demands made
on one's own comfort , health or ease of life. For the demands of this
hospitality are greater than almost any of our own. And the growing child
is made to know that here is love, here are warm lodgings, here is place of
safety. in hiding and in quiet the miraculous growth can take place.
Elaine Storkey
What I like doing best is Nothing. It's when people call out to you just as you're going off to do it,"What are you going to do?" and you say "Oh,Nothing" and then you go and do it.Doing Nothing means just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear , and not bothering"
Winnie the Pooh

Go to sleep, Mum,
I won't stop breathing
suddenly in the night
Go to sleep, I won't
climb out of my cot and
tumble downstairs
Mum, I won't swallow
the pills the doctor gave you
or put hairpins in electric
sockets ,just go to sleep
I won't cry
when you take me to school and leave me;
I'll be happy with other children
my own age
Sleep, Mum. Sleep
I won't
fall in the pond,
play with matches,
run under a lorry or even consider
sweets from strangers.
No, I won't
give you a lot of lip
not like some
I won't sniff glue.
fail all my exams,
get myself/my girlfriend pregnant
I'll work hard and get a steady
realy worthwhile job.
I promise, go to sleep
I'll never forget
to dropin/phone/write
And if
I need any milk, I'll yell
