“A son or daughter in any human family is either born to or adopted by the parents. By definition, a child can't be both. But with God we're both born of Him and adopted by Him.”
“If Children are God's Gift then adopted are God's child.”
“I was born in 1927, the only child of middle-class parents, both English, and themselves born in the grotesquely elongated shadow, which they never rose sufficiently above history to leave, of that monstrous dwarf Queen Victoria.”
“In my family nudity just doesn’t exist; I’m pretty sure my parents were both born fully clothed and still shower that way.”
“A flower can't choose the place where it blooms, and a child can't choose the parents she's born to”
“In every child who is born, under no matter what circumstances, and no matter what parents, the potentiality of the human race is born again.”
