There is only one man in the world and his name is All Men. There is only one woman in the world and her name is All Women. There is only one child in the world and the child’s name is All Children. (Carl Sandburg)When a child is born, so are grandmothers. (Judith Levy)The word ‘no’ carries a lot more meaning when spoken by a parent who also knows how to say ‘yes’. (Alice Walker)It’s not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it. (Dorothy on The Golden Girls)When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. (Indian mother’s lullaby)A chimney smokes; a dog barks; a grandparent baby sits. (Edwina Shemdi)The first cry of a newborn baby in Chicago or Zamboango, in Amsterdam or Rangoon, has the same pitch and key, each saying, “I am! I have come through! I belong! I am a member of the Family.” (Carl Sandburg)Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family, whoever you are, you need one. (Jane Howard)
