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.
-- Sigmund Freud
1856-1939, Austrian

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
