- Change theme
Quotes by Anne Lamott
- We can't understand when we're pregnant, or when our siblings are expecting, how profound it is to have a shared history with a younger generation: blood, genes, humor. It means we were actually here, on Earth, for a time - like the Egyptians with their pyramids, only with children.
- We must not inflict life on children who will be resented we must not inflict unwanted children on society.
- When hope is not pinned wriggling onto a shiny image or expectation, it sometimes floats forth and opens.
- When we're dealing with the people in our family - no matter how annoying or gross they may be, no matter how self-inflicted their suffering may appear, no matter how afflicted they are with ignorance, prejudice or nose hairs - we give from the deepest parts of ourselves.
