"I never wanted children. If I'd been deeply in love with a man and he'd wanted children, it would have been difficult."

"In Christ the middle wall of partition has been broken down. There is no Jew, no Gentile-no black, white, yellow, or red. We could be one great brotherhood in Jesus Christ. However, until we come to recognize Him as the Prince of Peace and receive His love in our hearts, the racial tensions will increase, racial demands will become more militant, and a great deal of blood will be shed. The race problem could become another flame out of control!"

"Love is the light and source of life, and happiness is the delight and essence of life."

Quote_1.png
Amber Hurdle

"The love has got to be bigger than everything else. The isolation, the separation, the danger. When the love is bigger than all of that ' you just do it. You pay the price in uncertainty and sometimes bereavement, because every moment you're together is worth the cost."

"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."

Quote_1.png
Polly Berrien Berends
"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."
