Today is Mother’s Day, a very special day, and I’m sharing 5 of my favorite quotes:

1. “Even as a small child, I understood that women had secrets, and that some of these were only to be told to daughters. In this way we were bound together for eternity.”

―Alice Hoffman, The Dovekeepers

2. “A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.”

―Agatha Christie, “The Last Séance”

3. “Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is…and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.”

―Donna Ball, At Home on Ladybug Farm

4. “Mothers were the only ones you could depend on to tell the whole, unvarnished truth.”

―Margaret Dilloway, How to Be an American Housewife

5. “Mom had the kind of love for her that you could feel, like it was part of the atmosphere.”

―Peter Abrahams, Down the Rabbit Hole

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers!
