The rules of morality are not the conclusion of our reason.
So the brother in black offers to these United States the source of courage that endures, and laughter.
I'm trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy. I feel really lucky.
At only 20 years old I got married. I was still a kid myself, but in those times, if you got someone pregnant, you had no choice but to get married. So I left school and the only thing I could do was sing.
A baby is like the beginning of all things: wonder, hope a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete, babies are almost the only remaining link in nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring.
My parents gave me stability and a belief in myself and in all the possibilities life has to offer. I was told the only limitations I would ever face were those I placed upon myself.
Mere heathen morality, and not Jesus Christ, is preached in most of our churches.
It's normal to gain weight during pregnancy. It's something that has to happen to your body.
Was I a perfect gastric-bypass patient? Yes. Was I a perfect gastric-bypass pregnant woman? No. I made a decision to enjoy my pregnancy... So sue me!
It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.
I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you.
My mother groaned, my father wept, into the dangerous world I leapt.
Sorrow is how we learn to love. Your heart isn't breaking. It hurts because it's getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.
Nah... I mean, I'm already pregnant, so what other kind of shenanigans could I get into?
I’d had three great pregnancies. I thought morning sickness was the end of the world, and it’s not until something pretty major happens that you’re like, oh my gosh those were all a piece of cake. I had a pretty large bleed. I thought I was having a miscarriage.
When I first got pregnant, I freaked out. Then I had to remind myself: I'm turning 30
The wisdom and compassion a woman can intuitively experience in childbirth can make her a source of healing and understanding for other women.
If we want to find safe alternatives to obstetrics, we must rediscover midwifery. To rediscover midwifery is the same as giving back childbirth to women. And imagine the future if surgical teams were at the service of the midwives and the women instead of controlling them.
...Respecting the woman as an important and valuable human being and making certain that the woman's experience while giving birth is fulfilling and empowering is not just a nice extra, it is absolutely essential as it makes the woman strong and therefore makes society strong.
Women are strong, strong, terribly strong. We don't know how strong until we're pushing out our babies.
Enjoy the pregnancy, not racing ahead and relishing the moment. I think people see pregnancy as something to get over with, but every stage of becoming a mother is really special.
There is no morality by instinct. There is no social salvation in the end without taking thought; without mastery of logic and application of logic to human experience.
