My mom and I had the same vision and we want the same things. We would always make a goal list every year.

Having a child makes you realize the importance of life - narcissism goes out the window. Heaven on earth is looking at my little boy. The minute he was born I knew if I never did anything other than being a mom I'd be fine.

For everything I do I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested and I never want to get a DUI those are my moral values.

Morality and its victim the mother - what a terrible picture! Is there indeed anything more terrible more criminal than our glorified sacred function of motherhood?

My mother told me on several different occasions that she was livin' her dream vicariously through me. She once said that I was getting' to do all the things that she would have wanted to have done.

I think my mother is my biggest influence. There are so many things I hate about her but at the same time I'm thankful for her. All I know is that when I'm a parent I want to be just like my mom. I can talk to my mom more than any of my friends could talk to their parents.

I guess I was a mom so late in life my daughter was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Mother is far too clever to understand anything she does not like.

Motherhood is the strangest thing it can be like being one's own Trojan horse.

I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.

The Vatican is against surrogate mothers. Good thing they didn't have that rule when Jesus was born.

Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.

How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are we must know our mothers names.

Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.

If one were to bring ten of the wisest men in the world together and ask them what was the most stupid thing in existence they would not be able to discover anything so stupid as astrology.

The worst thing about some men is that when they are not drunk they are sober.

We say nothing essential about the cathedral when we speak of its stones. We say nothing essential about Man when we seek to define him by the qualities of men.

One can be a brother only in something. Where there is no tie that binds men men are not united but merely lined up.

The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits but not when it misses.

Men should pledge themselves to nothing for reflection makes a liar of their resolution.

There is one thing women can never take away from men. We die sooner.

Men their rights and nothing more women their rights and nothing less.

The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood when no one can teach them anything!

Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction craving and despising never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.
