I understood and appreciated the miracle of birth, but I did not understand motherhood, nor did I appreciate the oveselling of it. To me it was a choice, one of many options. To others it was what women did. We were supposed to breed. It had been decided for us. Society expected it. Religion demanded it. ~ Judy Morgan
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Judy Morgan
Despite my interest in genetics, I never felt a particular attachment to my own genes. Some might consider this low self esteem; I prefer to think of it as egalitarianism. I oppose breeding, in animals and humans. If you're going to get a pet, take the five-year-old at the shelter, not the purebred from the puppymill. ~ Betsy Salkind
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Betsy Salkind
I look at my parents
the way mothers look at their toddlers.
I take every chance
to witness them undisturbed.
To study every detail
as if sitting for an important exam.
I take note of their hands,
the curves of their ears, the way they
envelop a room and greet others.
The way their souls shine through
when they speak of something they love,
like a candid photograph
unveiling beauty and truth.
Even though I am present
in the same space as them,
I am distanced
because of the intensity of my love.
Every heartbeat reminds me
of the ephemeral nature of our bodies
and the blessedness of these moments
until my father looks up from his book
and catches me smiling.
And like a child he is bewildered for a moment
and smiles back. ~ Kamand Kojouri
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Kamand Kojouri
They say that parenting is like dancing. You take one step, your child takes another. ~ Michael Jackson
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Michael Jackson
The goal of a true family is not that their children follow in their footsteps, but that their children surpass them in all ways. ~ Andrew Vachss
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Andrew Vachss
Parenthood seems really rewarding ... like martyrdom, but without the glamour. ~ Dov Davidoff
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Dov Davidoff
As a Christian and a feminist, the most important message I can carry and fight for is the sacredness of each human life, and reproductive rights for all women are a crucial part of that. It is a moral necessity that we not be forced to bring children into the world for whom we cannot be responsible and adoring and present. We must not inflict life on children who will be resented; we must not inflict unwanted children on society. ~ Anne Lamott
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Anne Lamott
If you aren't creeped out by the No Birth Control Left Behind rhetoric of the White House and Planned Parenthood, you aren't listening closely enough. The anesthetic of progressive benevolence always dulls the senses. Wake up. ~ Michelle Malkin
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Michelle Malkin
You know you've officially hit a midlife crisis when you finally start feeling like you have your life together and your body starts falling apart! ~ Tanya Masse
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Tanya Masse
Before they had kids, if asked to conjure images of parenthood they would have said things like "Reading in bed," and "Giving a bath," and "Running while holding the seat of a bicycle." Parenthood contains such moments of warmth and intimacy, but isn't them. It's cleaning up. The great bulk of family life involves no exchange of love, and no meaning, only fulfillment. Not the fulfillment of feeling fulfilled, but of fulfilling that which now falls to you. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
The biggest challenge is the chaos of parenthood, which has honestly been such a welcome challenge - bring it on, I say! ~ Anna Silk
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Anna Silk
As president, I will take that common ground and sign the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. I will stop allowing taxpayer money to fund Planned Parenthood. And I will support those pregnancy centers and women's health clinics around the country that are actually serving their communities. ~ Carly Fiorina
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Carly Fiorina
There's no encyclopedia or book about parenthood. You learn on the fly. ~ LeBron James
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by LeBron James
Billy is a funny, cheeky, lovely boy and I love being with him. Parenthood is terrifying though. I can barely walk past a building without panicking that it's going to collapse on his head. ~ Rufus Sewell
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Rufus Sewell
When a parent dies, for those left behind it can feel as though half the sky has fallen. My father was the sheltering sky, and beneath his mild firmament no storm ever raged, no hard rain fell. ~ John Birmingham
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by John Birmingham
Often the only thing a child can remember about an adult in later years, when he or she is grown, is whether or not that person was kind to him or her. ~ Billy Graham
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Billy Graham
My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted and I have always believed it to be true. Add a clear idea of what inspires you, dedicate your energies to its pursuit and there is no knowing what you can achieve, particularly if others are inspired by your dream and offer their help. ~ Pete Goss
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Pete Goss
God's Fatherly prerogative, is a kingly attribute so sweetly veiled in love, that the King's crown is forgotten in the King's face, and His sceptre becomes, not a rod of iron, but a silver sceptre of mercy - the sceptre indeed seems to be forgotten in the tender hand of Him who wields it. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Whatever else the religious Right may be, it is a bonanza for its opponents ... Reports of the great terror that is upon us are raising millions of dollars in fund appeals by Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Organization for Women, Norman Lear's People for the American Way, and others who claim to believe that the religious Right is the greatest peril to American democracy since Joe McCarthy. ~ Richard John Neuhaus
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Richard John Neuhaus
It was too late for he and his father to have an adventure, and NOTHING seemed to have any color anymore. ~ Robert Kurson
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Robert Kurson
There is a wide distinction between confessing sin as a culprit, and confessing sin as a child. The Father's bosom is the place for penitent confessions. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Most parents would not worry too much about their children if they knew that children belong not to their parents but to life. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Parents accept their obsolescence with the best grace they can muster ... they do all they can to make it easy for the younger generation to surpass the older, while secretly dreading the rejection that follows. ~ Christopher Lasch
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Christopher Lasch
I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan ... I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses ... I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak ... In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. ~ Margaret Sanger
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Margaret Sanger
Children need to see delight in the eyes of adults, if only to give them a sense that happiness is within reach, even when it isn't. Adults should be full of possibility, so the children might develop a sense of adventure. Children should live with the confidence that they are loved. Love frees them to embrace adventure, to seek truth, and to take care of one another. ~ Adriana Trigiani
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Adriana Trigiani
Parenthood is harder than conventional work, the author suggests, because our jobs develop a somewhat predictable flow and offer relatively short-term feedback. This leads to internal comparisons to the improvisational nature of parenting ~ Jennifer Senior
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Jennifer Senior
I've never experienced true love until I loved my own child. ~ Mitta Xinindlu
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Mitta Xinindlu
Do not ask that your kids live up to your expectations. Let your kids be who they are, and your expectations will be in breathless pursuit. ~ Robert Breault
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Robert Breault
Kids can be a pain in the neck when they're not a lump in your throat. ~ Barbara Johnson
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Barbara Johnson
I have great faith in 'ordinary parents.' Who has a child's welfare more at heart than his ordinary parent? It's been my experience that when parents are given the skills to be more helpful, not only are they able to use these skills, but they infuse them with a warmth and a style that is uniquely their own. ~ Haim Ginott
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Haim Ginott
Parenthood is the only career in which the better you do your job, the sooner you're fired. ~ Lisa Wingate
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Lisa Wingate
When I was seven, I was allowed to be an extra in 'Parenthood,' which was amazing. But then I kind of got addicted to it, and my parents didn't want me to want to act. They felt that would be putting your kid in an adult world. ~ Bryce Dallas Howard
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Bryce Dallas Howard
Planned Parenthood and Human Rights Campaign are standing up and fighting the important fights that have to be fought. ~ Bernie Sanders
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Bernie Sanders
A man who indulges in parenthood for the first time at the age of fifty-four deserves all he gets. ~ Raymond Chandler
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Raymond Chandler
Education, like neurosis, begins at home. ~ Milton Sapirstein
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Milton Sapirstein
I was at home waiting for projects. I was on Parenthood and there was one season left, and I was thinking, "What's next?" I'm at this age where I'm trying to write my own script, and they sent this over and I decided to put myself on tape. ~ Ray Romano
Bypassing Parenthood quotes by Ray Romano
I work, and then I leave the office, and I'm with my kids and just sort of enjoy them on a visceral level, and I don't feel like I'm exorcising my own deep ideas about parenthood and about how my life will come into play in my work. ~ Ben Marcus
