"Birth is the sudden opening of a window, through which you look out upon a stupendous prospect. For what has happened? A miracle. You have exchanged nothing for the possibility of everything."
William MacNeile Dixon


"Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD: and a reward from Him."

~Select Panel for the Promotion of Child Health, 1981

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.
~James Matthew Barrie, Peter Pan

He wrapped himself in quotations—as a beggar would enfold himself in the purple of Emperors.

I really love that one:
"A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."
Eda J. Le Shan
