What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very, very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.

Sexism is not the fault of women - kill your fathers, not your mothers.

The first principle of child-rearing is to choose a good mother.

Rosa Parks was the queen mother of a movement whose single act of heroism sparked the movement for freedom, justice and equality. Her greatest contribution is that she told us a regular person can make a difference.

No matter how old we become, we can still call them 'Holy Mother' and 'Father' and put a child-like trust in them.

I don't think anybody cares about unwed mothers unless they're black or poor. The question is not morality, the question is money. That's what we're upset about.

My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators.

My mother said, Don't worry abot what people think now. Think about whether your children and grandchildren will think you've done well.

Even if society dictates that men and women should behave in certain ways, it is fathers and mothers who teach those ways to children not just in the words they say, but in the lives they lead.

I hope my tongue in prune juice smothers, If I belittle dogs and mothers.

There is a fundamental situation in which the country has reached rock bottom, that a mother can't send her children out of the house in the morning. The country has reached rock bottom and this needs to be changed.

Growing up my mother played Sarah Vaughan and Nat Cole in the house regularly.

Then I became a mother and it just fills every space, that isn't filled with something else important. It's just like this incredible balloon that blows up and fills life up.
