“Parenthood is not an object of appetite or even desire. It is an object of will. There is no appetite for parenthood; there is only a purpose or intention of parenthood.”

Parenthood is the opiate of the masses.

Parenthood doesn’t improve one’s character, it exposes it.

Uselessness, she thought, was the permanent condition of parenthood.

Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.

Helplessness in the face of a child's suffering is the curse of parenthood.

Parenthood makes such sweet hypocrites of us all.

Parenthood is a very sacred journey but only a few owe it!

The sacred gift of parenthood is inscribe in the universal words ‘Papa’ and ‘Mama’.

Parenthood...It's about guiding the next generation, and forgiving the last.
