The only thing that I stress out about is, how am I going to make sure that I balance out my time for motherhood?

Of the two lots, the woman's lot of perpetual motherhood, and the man's of perpetual babyhood, I prefer the man's.

Motherhood has made me a much better person. I see everything from a new perspective - with a sense of wonderment.

Of all the haunting moments of motherhood, few rank with hearing your own words come out of your daughter's mouth.

There was a place in childhood that I remember well, And there a voice of sweetest tone bright fairy tales did tell.

Why not wear a scar of Motherhood? Better than a tattoo or a mark of Honor. Let the world know what you've achieved.

Pregnancy and motherhood are the most beautiful and significantly life-altering events that I have ever experienced.

Each child is biologically required to have a mother. Fatherhood is a well-regarded theory, but motherhood is a fact.

The first thing [in career and motherhood] is a great husband. That I found many years ago and I am lucky in that way.

Mothers suffer in the workplace. That fact is by now so painfully familiar it even has a name: the motherhood penalty.

Before motherhood, I had a feeling that unmarried women are the strongest. However, that changed after my son was born.

My own cabaret is constantly evolving with what is occurring in my own life, so motherhood is a natural addition to it.

The art of motherhood involves much silent, unobtrusive self-denial, an hourly devotion which finds no detail too minute.

Single motherhood is a reality for a lot of women in my age group and the time difficulties in their lives are universal.

I have a lot on my plate. I'm not going to lie about it, I'm tired. I'm really tired but I'm also very happy with my life.

I think motherhood is just about instinct. I remember coming home from the hospital and having no idea what we were doing.

There's this idea that motherhood is as American as apple pie, but yet we don't support it with any government assistance.

I believe it is by divine design that the role of motherhood emphasizes the nurturing and teaching of the next generation.

I've approached so many things in my life with such intensity that I want to approach motherhood with dedication and focus.

There's so much dishonesty with motherhood in general... The truth is it's just a lot of embarrassing, humiliating moments.

Positive thinking is so firmly enshrined in our culture that knocking it is a little like attacking motherhood or apple pie.

I love babies. I also have this very deep desire to become a mother. I always thought that motherhood was my highest calling.

You make mistakes as a parent. Then you wish you hadn't said that, or you wish you hadn't told them how to dress. You cringe.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

What's going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool, because right now, we're not cool Mom and Dad.

The future woman must have a life work and economic independence. She must have the right of motherhood at her own discretion.

Motherhood is a joy! I have dreamed about being a mother since I was 12 years old, and there's nothing disappointing about it.

Just think: people decided one day that a day should be set aside for motherhood and fatherhood. What a great concept that is.

If you didn’t have any conscious beings in the world, there really wouldn’t be morality but with consciousness that you have it.

I discovered, quite early in motherhood, that the longest and most painful deliveries occur when you give birth to stepchildren.

My path to motherhood was challenging, to say the least, and I always feel like I'm living a 'Sliding Doors' version of my life.

Motherhood puts everything into perspective, changes the way you look at life, and your perspective of what's actually important.

I don't think 'Motherhood' is a map for women. I would never say that it's a template for every woman in response to her biology.

To counter-balance the natural humility of motherhood, I garden ... In the garden, more than any place, I really feel successful.

My life was once whiskey, tears and cigarettes... now it's snot, tears and a color of poop. Bliss. I do miss the whiskey, though.

The torment that so many young women know, bound hand and foot by love and motherhood, without having forgotten their former dreams.

I feel awful for women who are trying to raise kids on their own, with zero income and no fathers present - that's single motherhood.

I can't help but be a different person now that I've had kids. That really does change your whole perspective on life for the better.

[Motherhood] is an incredibly huge challenge. You need support. You need resources. You need access to childcare and good safe schools.

Coco is the greatest part of my life. I love everything about being a mom, but our talks and walks on the beach are my favorite moments.

Motherhood has become a battleground on which prejudice and class resentment can be waged without ever admitting that's what we're doing.

One of the most exiting things about being pregnant is that I just am accepting the complete unknown; it's a complete mystery and miracle.

motherhood is the great mesh in which all human relations are entangled, in which lurk our most elemental assumptions about love and power.

More than in any other human relationship, overwhelmingly more, motherhood means being instantly interruptible, responsive, and responsible

I soothe my conscience now with the thought that it is better for hard words to be on paper than that Mummy should carry them in her heart.
