No one who has
seen a baby sinking back satiated from the breast and
falling asleep with flushed cheeks and a blissful smile can
escape the reflection that this picture persists as a
prototype of the expression of sexual satisfaction in later
life.

- Founder of Psychoanalysis
If you desire
to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred
that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young
mother hear you call dear baby ''it.''
-- Jerome K. Jerome
1859-1927, British Humorous
Writer, Novelist, Playwright
A loud noise
at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
-- Ronald Knox
1888-1957, British Scholar,
Priest
From the
moment of birth, when the stone-age baby confronts the
twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these
forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father
have been, and their parents and their parents before them.
These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of
its potentialities. This enterprise is on the whole
successful.
-- R. D. Laing
1927-1989, British
Psychiatrist
