Mother: A Book of Quotations (Dover Thrift Editions)

Scores of quotes, sayings, and speculations on motherhood — from Roman poet Virgil to comedienne Phyllis Diller — comprise this delightful and entertaining compendium. Shakespeare is quoted, as are Sophocles, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Thomas Jefferson, Victor Hugo, Napoleon, Edna Ferber, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Gloria Vanderbilt, and many other writers, statesmen, biblical figures, movie stars, and more. A wonderful little tome for browsing or for use as a handy reference.
