Mother Quotes

That’s what my mother doesn’t understand about my lipstick and dark clothes. I don’t wear tattoos to freak her out; I wear them because I have to. It’s me Picture Quote #1

My mother helped me to get past that. She was always there for me, until she dies. I remember she told me once, about big hearts and small hearts, and that not everyone could be blessed with a big one that had room to care for a lot of people. She promised me that mine was big, and that I was the lucky one for it Picture Quote #1

David’s mother would often tell him stories were alive. They weren’t alive in the way people were alive,or even dogs or cats.

Cats, meanwhile, were very good at pretending people didn’t exist at all when it suited them Picture Quote #1

Even when a girl is married she still never completely leaves her mother and father’s home Picture Quote #1

It is strange to hear your mother talk about being human because, honestly, it’s too easy to forget Picture Quote #1

Death isn’t enough. It doesn’t remove the stain. But a slap, a whiplash, square on the face, does. Because a man’s face is as sacred as his mother or his wife Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My mother named me after a miracle of nature: Waris means desert flower. The desert flower blooms in a barren environment where few living things can survive Picture Quote #1

When I was your age I knew nothing about the world or my place in it. I figured I’d be someone’s wife, then someone’s mother. It never occurred to me to be someone myself Picture Quote #1

Once in my life I knew a grief so hard I could actually hear it inside, scraping at the lining of my stomach, an audible ache, dredging with hooks as rivers are dredged when someone’s been missing too long. I have to think my mother felt something like that Picture Quote #1

Once, I was my mother’s daughter. Now I am my daughter’s mother Picture Quote #1

My mother used to talk about passages and, once in a while, about ordeals. We all have them; we are all shaped by them. She thought the key was to find the healing in the hurt Picture Quote #1

I have no end of failings as a mother, but I have always followed the rules Picture Quote #1

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.

Whenever I’m with my mother, I feel as though I have to spend the whole time avoiding land mines Picture Quote #1

Well, you will have to do. If you had died along with your mother, I would have taught the cat to read Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The wide world was changing, and she wanted a different place in it. Not just wanted, but felt she deserved. If the world didn’t owe her a living, as her mother repeatedly warned her, it owed her a break. She had a strong sense that a better, more exciting, more rewarding life than that which had been the lot of her parents and grandparents was hers by right. In this she was guilty of nothing more serious than the arrogance of youth, from which every generation suffers and by which it distinguishes itself from the preceding one Picture Quote #1

He wished he could reassure his mother: a man wants many things in life, but when one of them is also the right thing, he would be a fool not to choose it Picture Quote #1

Over and over again, stories in women’s magazines insist that women can know fulfillment only at the moment of giving birth to a child. They deny the years when she can no longer look forward to giving birth, even if she repeats the act over and over again. In the feminine mystique, there is no other way for a woman to dream of creation or of the future. There is no other way she can even dream about herself, except as her children’s mother, her husband’s wife Picture Quote #1

Your power as a woman, as a mother, is your medicine, and it saved you. Take your courage in that Picture Quote #1
