Premature Babies Quotes

“A midwife once told Erszébet of the üszögös gyermek, the stunted child, a premature fetus born alive, a scurrying spectral thing with a rat's feet and ears.Unless the stunted child is immediately destroyed, it will return to its mother's womb. It is something monstrous, grown in secret.”
― Jody Shields, The Fig Eater

“When you’re born prematurely, you want to live more quickly than other people. The good, the bad, everything!”
― Zidrou & Aimée de Jongh, L'obsolescence programmée de nos sentiments
