This post is dedicated to my mother. For without her, man would not know evil(me not her). While Mother’s Day isn’t really celebrated much in Taiwan (at least the western version) I still remember. Since once again I can’t be there to say it, this is the next best thing. Here are some famous quotes about mothers that I have gathered. If anyone has anymore add them to the comment and I will include them in the post.
“A suburban mother’s role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after.”
“It would seem that something which means poverty, disorder and violence every single day should be avoided entirely, but the desire to beget children is a natural urge.”
“Women’s Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It’s the men who are discriminated against. They can’t bear children. And no one’s likely to do anything about that.”
“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.”
“When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.”
“Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.”
“A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.”
“God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.”
“You don’t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back.”
“Parents often talk about the younger generation as if they didn’t have anything to do with it.”
Happy Mother’s Day!
