Motherhood

“… Here is a breathing body and a beating heart, strong legs, bones and teeth and two clear eyes to read the world,” she whispered. “And here,” I said, “is the lanyard I made at camp.”

“And here,” I wish to say to her now, “is a smaller gift. Not the archaic truth, that you can never repay your mother, but the rueful admission that when she took the two-toned lanyard from my hands, I was as sure as a boy could be that this useless worthless thing I wove out of boredom would be enough to make us even.”

- The Laynard, by Billy Collins

Women

“When they say, ‘Who do you think you are,’ tell them who you are and don’t hold back…When they say ‘you’re incorrigible, defiant, hard to get along with, unreasonable woman…’ Say, ‘yes, yes, yes.’ And I have worse news for you yet—we are teaching our daughters, and our mothers, and our sisters. We are teaching our sons, and our fathers, and our brothers, to be just like us.”
