What's playing on the Victrola in the Properties Department:




Chaucer: I'm a writer.
Wat: A what?
Chaucer: A wha- a what? A writer. I write, with parchment, and ink. Geoffrey Chaucer's the name, writing's the game. You've read my book? The Book of the Duchess? No? Well, it was allegorical.
Roland: Well, we won't hold that against you, that's for every man to decide for himself.

(A Knight's Tale)

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. Mothers always have to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.~ Loren
Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.~Garretty
A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never done. ~Unknown
A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.Proverb
The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms. ~Holmes
God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers. ~Proverb
Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother. ~Oprah Winfrey
You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back. ~Tammeus
Now that... my kids are grown, I understand how much work and love it takes to raise and to keep a family together. The example of your strength, devotion, and patience is now rippling through the generations. Thank you ~Houtenschil
Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.~Stone
There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it. ~Proverb
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.-George Washington
This heart, my own dear mother, bends, With love's true instinct, back to thee!~Moore
