Text Quotes
I believe that an author who cannot control her characters is, like a mother who cannot control her children, not really fit to look after them  (A Mother Quotes) God know that a mother need fortitude and courage and tolerance and flexibility and patience and firmness and nearly every other brave aspect of the human soul  (A Mother Quotes) If it is perfectly acceptable for a widow to disfigure herself or commit suicide to save face for her husband’s family, why should a mother not be moved to extreme action by the loss of a child or children? We are their caretakers. We love them. We nurse them when they are sick... But no woman should live longer than her children. It is against the law of nature. If she does, why wouldn’t she wish to leap from a cliff, hang from a branch, or swallow lye?  (A Mother Quotes) In our country we call this type of mother love teng ai. My son has told me that in men’s writing it is composed of two characters. The first means pain; the second means love. That is a mother’s love  (A Mother Quotes) And a mother without children is not a mother at all, and if I am not a mother, than I am nothing. Nothing. I am like sugar dissolved in a glass of water. Or, I am like salt, which disappears when you cook with it. I am salt. Without my children, I cease to exist  (A Mother Quotes) I wonder how many ways there are for a mother to produce that wreckage in her own daughter, and my muscles tense as I think of them  (A Mother Quotes) Fascination with horses predated every other single thing I knew. Before I was a mother, before I was a writer, before I knew the facts of life, before I was a schoolgirl, before I learned to read, I wanted a horse  (A Mother Quotes) Sometimes, she said, mostly to herself, I feel I do not know my children... It was a fleeting statement, one I didn’t think she’d hold on to; after all, she had birthed us alone, diapered and fed us, helped us with homework, kissed and hugged us, poured her love into us. That she might not actually know us seemed the humblest thing a mother could admit  (A Mother Quotes) A mother is a mother from the moment her baby is first placed in her arms until eternity. It didn’t matter if her child were three, thirteen, or thirty  (A Mother Quotes) Life and stories are alike in one way: They are full of hollows. The king and queen have no children: They have a child hollow. The girl has a wicked stepmother: She has a mother hollow. In a story, a baby comes along to fill the child hollow. But in life, the hollows continue empty  (A Mother Quotes) She was like a mother to me... and I betrayed as a daughter will betray her mother and yet, never stop loving her  (A Mother Quotes) How a mother comes to love her child, her caring at all for this thing that’s made her heavy, lopsided and slow, this thing that made her wish she were dead... that’s the miracle  (A Mother Quotes) When a daughter loses a mother, the intervals between grief responses lengthen over time, but her longing never disappears. It always hovers at the edge of her awareness, prepared to surface at any time, in any place, in the least expected ways  (A Mother Quotes) Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth. Peace is all of these and more and more  (A Mother Quotes) I have found being a mother has made me emotionally raw in many situations. You heart is beating outside your body when you have a baby  (A Mother Quotes) A mother’s love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking  (A Mother Quotes) Becoming a mother makes you the mother of all children. From now on each wounded, abandoned, frightened child is yours. You live in the suffering mothers of every race and creed and weep with them. You long to comfort all who are desolate  (A Mother Quotes) As a single mom, I’m juggling a lot and working long hours. Yes, it costs them a little, but what my children get in return is a mother who is energized and content  (A Mother Quotes) As a mother, I always have something better to be doing. I love work still, but I’m less tolerant of my time being wasted  (A Mother Quotes) I love being a mother... I am more aware. I feel things on a deeper level. I have a kind of understanding about my body, about being a woman  (A Mother Quotes) Suddenly she was here. And I was no longer pregnant; I was a mother. I never believed in miracles before  (A Mother Quotes) A mother has far greater influence on her children than anyone else, and she must realize that every word she speaks, every act, every response, her attitude, even her appearance and manner of dress affect the lives of her children and the whole family  (A Mother Quotes) My own mother fought to make herself more than a possession; she lived her life as a mother who chose when she would have children, and a wife who could earn a living if she so chose. I want my daughters to enjoy that same choice  (A Mother Quotes) God knows that a mother needs fortitude and courage and tolerance and flexibility and patience and firmness and nearly every other brave aspect of the human soul. But because I happen to be a parent of almost fiercely maternal nature, I praise casualness. It seems to me the rarest of virtues. It is useful enough when children are small. It is useful to the point of necessity when they are adolescents  (A Mother Quotes) Having taken on the care of foster children, a mother forced her own daughter to beat them. According to her later account: Mom puts the fly swatter in my hand and shows me how to do it: grab their wrists, and whack the plastic handle over their pink baby palms. She stands in the doorway of their room until I can crack hard enough to make them scream  (A Mother Quotes) The capacity for extravagant emotion that my husband finds so attractive in me can be exhausting, especially to a child. My moods are mercurial, and this can be terrifying. I know, because I was a daughter of a mother with a changeable temperament  (A Mother Quotes) When I look at female characters, I want to recognize myself in them: my trials, my tribulations as a mother, as a lover, as a daughter  (A Mother Quotes) I think, at the end of the day, the most special thing is when a mother or a gay person comes up to you and just thanks you and calls you a hero. They say I’m a hero, but I’m just a concerned citizen and I’m just doing the right thing  (A Mother Quotes) That is not a crack house. It is a house with a family with a father and a mother and three sons and a daughter  (A Mother Quotes) You have to pay attention to who you are. You need to know your family history as well as you can. It is important for young women to have preventive care. If you catch any women’s cancers early it’s the difference between life and death. Do you really want to leave your kids without a mother?  (A Mother Quotes)
