There is nothing to suggest that mothering cannot be shared by several people.
The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.
A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary.
Your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life.
Sleep, that sometimes shuts up sorrow's eye, steal me awhile from mine own company.
Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit, and look on death itself.
