“Every child is conceived either in love or lust, is born in pain, followed by joy or sometimes remorse.”
― Jennifer Worth, The Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times

“Now and then in life, love catches you unawares, illuminating the dark corners of your mind, and filling them with radiance. Once in awhile you are faced with a beauty and a joy that takes your soul, all unprepared, by assault.”
― Jennifer Worth, The Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times

“Therefore…‘Sing, my darlings, sing, Before your petals fade, To feed the flowers of another spring.”
― Jennifer Worth, Call the Midwife: A Memoir of Birth, Joy, and Hard Times

“If I should die, and leave you here awhile
Be not like others sore undone, who keep
Long vigils by the silent dust and weep.
For my sake, turn again to life, and smile,
Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
Something to comfort weaker hearts than thine.
Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine,
And I, perchance, may therein comfort you!”
― Mary Lee Hall
