Our society encourages women to place a very high value on maternity as an essential part of female identity, both a high moral calling and the deepest source of satisfaction on earth. It's not easy to redefine motherhood as handing your baby over to a stranger. - Katha Pollitt
Prayer is the maternity where ideas are born. - Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha
No woman in maternity confinement can have stranger and more impatient wishes than I have. - Søren Kierkegaard
