MOM QUOTES

  ~ Samuel Johnson ~
• The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.
  ~ Rabindranath Tagore ~

• To us, the moment 8:17 A.M. means something - something very important, if it happens to be the starting time of our daily train.

• No he conocido hombre q piense q soy mucho para el, q si estudio y el no, q si tengo metas y el no, q si vengo de buena familia y el no, q tengo un buen corazon y el no. Mientras sufria por ti en algun lugar lei: El amor es sufrido, es benigno; el amor no tiene envidia, el amor no es jactancioso, no se envanece; no es indecoroso, no busca lo suyo, no se irrita, no guarda rencor. En momentos de debilidad pense: que gran sacrificio hacia por mi, pero ahora me doy cuenta que el amor dictado por Jesus no es asi.

• My mom used to tell me stories at night, read books to me - and I read 'em over and over and over again. And you know what I learned from that? I went back and looked at everything - Why do I like reading the same stories over and over and over again? What, was I some kind of nincompoop? No - the narrative gave me connection with my mom.
  ~ Peter Guber ~
• Most young people haven't used their storytelling skills since they were 8 or 9 or 10 and wanted to persuade Mom and Dad to take them to the ball game.

  ~ Peter Guber ~
• There's a sense of aliveness that comes from connection, shared experience. And you see it in every place.

  ~ Peter Guber ~

We're the mothers, we're the wives, we're the grandmothers, we're the big sisters, we're the little sisters, we're the daughters. You know it's true, don't you? You're the ones who always have to do a little more.

  ~ Tom Peters ~
• I've come to recognize what I call my 'inside interests.' Telling stories. And helping people tell their stories is a sort of interpersonal gardening.

  ~ Jane Pauley ~
• I would like to prove that on TV, everyday lives can be as compelling as the life-styles of the rich and famous. Especially lives that we catch at extraordinary moments.

  ~ Chris Brown ~
• In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better.

  ~ Fred Durst ~
• My mom and I used to listen to records, read, and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development, but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine.
