Trust. We stake our lives on it, but it's a subject that not even the Gallagher Academy can teach. When do you let your guard down? Who do you let in? And I knew at that moment, as I sat beside my mother, bathing in the warm spring light, that those were the questions a good spy never stops asking
Ally Carter

The tie which links mother and child is of such pure and immaculate strength as to be never violated, except by those whose feelings are withered by vitiated society. Holy, simple, and beautiful in its construction, it is the emblem of all we can imagine of fidelity and truth.
Washington Irving
Image
A mother is the truest friend we have.
Washington Irving

Every work of art is the child of its time, often it is the mother of our emotions.
Wassily Kandinsky

The mother-in-laws themselves weren't natural jokes but most comedians used to use that.
Allen Toussaint
Image
But after a few minutes of convincing myself that I really wanted to go - telling myself that I love skating and that my coach is there waiting for me - I would get up and go. And my mother would always get up and eat breakfast with me!
Nancy Kerrigan
Image
I think one of the great primordial fears we have once we become conscious of our aloneness as children is the fear of losing our mother. We have that from the moment we realize we can lose her just in the supermarket. As a child, it was more terrifying than arithmetic.

Most people marry their mother. I married my father.

You never argued with my mother. You couldn't win.

Little boy, you remind me how so much depends of day made of now

The bigger the budget, the more you can afford to compromise with Mother Nature. The smaller the budget, the more you're like, Okay, well, we have to do this, but how can we afford to do it. That's when you have to get really creative on the business side, as far as making compromises.

Although I am good at enumerating my father’s flaws, it’s hard for me to sustain much anger at him. I expect this is partly because he’s dead, and partly because the bar is lower for fathers than it is for mothers.
Alison Bechdel

Ignorance is the mother of admiration.
George Chapman

The writer who is a mother should, I think, record everything she can: make notes, keep journals, take photographs, use a tape recorder, and remind herself that there is a subject so incalculably vast significance to humanity, about which virtually nothing is known because writers have not been mothers.

When I had nothing else, I had my mother and the piano. And you know what? They were all I needed.
Alicia Keys

My mother was raised very, very strict Catholic in the Midwest. There was so much fear and intimidation [in the faith]. So, growing up, I was always looking for my connection. I've found myself praying before meals, before bed there's always been this gratitude for things that are bigger than me.
Alicia Keys

When I was younger, my mother and I, we'd have these crazy, crazy fights. Everyone would storm out mad, and the only way that I'd be able to express myself was to write her. We would write letters back and forth for days. When I'm writing, I feel uninterrupted. I write what I'm going through and how I see it.

My father was on the Alcoholics Anonymous wishlist. My mother was on... parole. And lithium.
Christopher Titus

I've always valued the input of the people I love. So in the past, whenever I'd make a decision - what to wear to an event, whether to pursue a job opportunity - I'd consult those closest to me, like my mother, husband, or manager.

And yet the true creator is necessity, which is the mother of invention.
Aristotle

I have my mother who is an Irish-Italian, and my father who is African, so I have the taste buds of an Italian and the spice of an African.

My mother is an actress, and she used to drag me from theater to theater and reading to reading.

The forest is the first cathedral. I felt that from the time I was a child. I credit my mother with that. I used to think it came from her Native-American side. Whichever it was, she instinctively connected with nature, and taught me that.
Alice Walker

I think that indigenous women's wisdom is crucial. So much of the care of the Earth has come from the mothers. I think it's imperative we turn to their wisdom in how to take care of the planet.
