"Well, I suppose that, in a sense, every screen role is a favourite with me."

"There is no sense in crying over spilt milk. Why bewail what is done and cannot be recalled?"

Sophocles, Greek Poet

"I who am blind can give one hint to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses. Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. make the most of every sense; glory in the beauty which the world in all the facets of pleasure reveals to you through the several means of contact which Nature provides. But of all the senses, I am sure that sight is the most delightful."

Helen Keller, American Author

"My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years."

"The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual."

"Parenthood always comes as a shock. Postpartum blues? Postpartum panic is more like it. We set out to have a baby; what we get is a total take-over of our lives."

"The gain is not the having of children; it is the discovery of love and how to be loving."

"Most of us would do more for our babies than we have ever been willing to do for anyone, even ourselves."

"We can see that the baby is as much an instrument of nourishment for us as we are for him."
