Anne Lamott
“So how on earth can I bring a child into the world, knowing that such sorrow lies ahead, that it is such a large part of what it means to be human?
I'm not sure. That's my answer: I'm not sure.”
Anne Lamott, Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year

Pramoedya Ananta Toer
“A mother knows what her child's gone through, even if she didn't see it herself.”
Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Gadis Pantai

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“People want you to be happy.
Don't keep serving them your pain!

If you could untie your wings
and free your soul of jealousy,

you and everyone around you
would fly up like doves.”
Rumi

Donna Ball
“Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is...and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.”
Donna Ball, At Home on Ladybug Farm
