The birth of all things is weak and tender; and therefore we should have our eyes intent on beginnings.
MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE, Essays
As the births of living creatures at first are ill-shapen, so are all innovations, which are the births of time.
Because they've either conveniently forgotten with time or they're trying to be supportive, most mothers won't tell you how hard pregnancy (and then childbirth) can be. Let me tell you, it is. It's brutal sometimes! But, if I did it, ANYONE can do it. I mean, I always knew I was meant to do something really BIG in life, and now I know that this was it. Screw winning an Academy Award someday ... I GAVE BIRTH!
JENNY MCCARTHY, Belly Laughs
The so-called miracle of birth is nature getting her own way.
CAMILLE PAGLIA, Sexual Personae
I have personally come to believe that childbirth is a blessing to women sent straight from God. I mean, in its purest form, birth is the most fantastic orgasm married with a miracle! What more heavenly gift could there be?
LAURIE ANNIS MORGAN, The Power of Pleasurable Childbirth
They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
SAMUEL BECKETT, Waiting for Godot
