"I've never been pregnant, so I just..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“People tend to fear what they do not know, and what they fear they dislike.”

“I've struggled enough in my life to be appreciated and understood. I've had to go against all kinds of people through the years just to be myself. I think everybody should be allowed to be who they are, and to love who they love. I don't think we should be judgmental. Lord, I've got enough problems of my own to pass judgment on somebody else.”

“I just can't stand to look plain, 'cause that don't fit my personality. I may be a very artificial-looking person, but the good news is, I'm very real on the inside.”

“Of all human struggles there is none so treacherous and remorseless as the struggle between the artist man and the mother woman.”

“Alone of human beings the good and wise mother stands on a plane of equal honor with the bravest soldier; for she has gladly gone down to the brink of the chasm of darkness to bring back the children in whose hands rests the future of the years.”

“...mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain.”

“Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.”

“The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.”

“What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure he that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unused.”
