Mother
Quotes - You loved me before seeing me
“Love
as powerful as your mother's for you leaves it's own mark. To have been loved
so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some
protection forever.”

“Oh,
but she never wanted James to grow a day older or Cam either. These two she
would have liked to keep for ever just as the way they were, demons of
wickedness, angels of delight, never to see them grow up into long-legged
monsters.”

“Dr.
Bone Specialist came in, made me stand up and hobble across the room, checked
my reflexes, and then made me lie down on the table. He bent my right knee this
way and that, up and down, all the way out to the side and in. Then he did the
same with my left leg. He ordered X rays then started to leave the room. I
panicked. I MUST GET DRUGS.
"What
can I take for the pain?" I asked him before he got out the door.
"You
can take some over the counter ibuprofen," he suggested. "But I
wouldn't take more than nine a day."
I
choked. Nine a day? I'd been popping forty. Nine a day? Like hell. I couldn't
even go to the bathroom on my own, I hadn't slept in three weeks, and my
normally sunny cheery disposition had turned into that of a very rabid dog. If
I didn't get good drugs and get them now, it was straight to Shooter's World
and then Walgreens pharmacy for me.
"I
don't think you understand," I explained. "I can't go to work. I have
spent the last four days with my mother who is addicted to QVC, watching
jewelry shows, doll shows and make-up shows. I almost ordered a beef-jerky
maker! Give me something, or I'm going to use your calf muscles to make the
first batch!"
Without
further ado, he hastily scribbled out a prescription for some codeine and was
gone. I was happy.
My
mother, however, had lost the ability to speak.”

“A
brilliant idea is like a baby in a mothers womb.
You
need to bring it out in the world, nurture it, feed it, grow it, till it
becomes big enough to take care of itself.
If
you leave it at the stage of an idea itself, it is as good as non existent.”

“Rather
than feeling vindicated, I felt guilty. It seemed cruel, and all my fault,
somehow. My relationship with my mother had always brought into question any
sense I had of myself as a good and decent person. [p. 128]”

“He
hesitated for a moment. Then he said softly, "I love you, Mother." He
took my hand and kissed it, and folded my fingers round the stem of the rose.
He had stripped it of its thorns.”

“Captain
Jibby looked at the door, clenched his teeth, and worked his face into a scowl
so fierce you would think the door had insulted his mother - which, for the
record, it had not.”

“I've
spent my whole life trying to get over having had Nikki for a mother, and I
have to say that from day one after she died, I liked having a dead mother much
more than having an impossible one. [p. 47]”

“But
it's not healthy!” replied the Hag. “A mortal and a god sharing the same
flesh?”
“You
know, this isn't why we're here. I can get abuse pretty much wherever.”
“Yeah,”
sighed the Maid, “but I bet a tenner I can make you cry in half a minute.”

Kate Griffin, The Midnight Mayor
“I
know you think I should be home taking care of my family. That maybe I’d be
distracted or I wouldn’t be as committed as the rest of you, but who’s more
committed: the person with something to lose, or the people who’ve got nothing
left?”
―
Bill Blais, No Good Deed
“One
thing that became clear to me is that images of a divine mother are
surprisingly important in the psychological wholeness of women, especially in
the process of women taking up residence in their own authority.”
