MOTHER AND DAUGHTER QUOTES
It's hard to tell who cherishes this relationship the most, the mothers or the daughters. Judging by our mother and daughter quotes, we both have a great deal to rejoice about. It's a magical, complex relationship. Here is someone we should know very well, and yet here is someone who is unquestionably her own person. And, that, I suppose is the nicest feeling that comes from these mother and daughter quotes: respect for who we are, and who they are, no matter what. *** Mothers of daughters are daughters of mothers and have remained so, in
circles joined to circles, since time began. From the time she was born, until she was fifteen, I didn't know where I left
off and she began. We were joined at the hip or the heart or the brain. What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their
troubles? God intended motherhood to be a relay race. Each generation would
pass the baton on to the next. It's hard to imagine that Mary Tyler Moore would have needed an alter ego, but as this mother and daughter quotes shows, she did: Maybe Mom is my alter ego and the woman I'm able to be when I'm working. From the time I was a child I wanted to be like my mother. Not
necessarily an actress -- I never dreamed I'd have the courage. But an
active, volatile woman like she was. My mother won't admit it, but I've always been a disappointment to
her. Deep down inside, she'll never forgive herself for giving birth to
a daughter who refuses to launder aluminum foil and use it over again. When we weren't scratching each other's eyes out, we were making each other
laugh harder than anyone else could. The essential thing about mothers is that one needs to know that they are
there, particularly at that age when, paradoxically, one is trying so hard to
break away from parental influence. My mother wanted me to be her wings, to fly as she never quite had the
courage to do. I love her for that. I love the fact that she
wanted to give birth to her own wings. Whitney Houston captures many of our feelings in this mother and daughter quote: She's my teacher, my advisor, my greatest inspiration. I am all the time talking about you, and bragging, to one person or
another. I am like the Ancient Mariner, who had a tale in his heart he
must unfold to all. I am always buttonholing somebody and saying,
"Someday you must meet my mother." Momma was home. she was the most totally human, human being that I
have ever known, and so very beautiful. Within our home, she was
an abundance of love, discipline, fun, affection, strength, tenderness, encouragement,
understanding, inspiration, support. The greatest gift of all in all these mother and daughter quotes: just let her be: I still hear you humming, Mama. The color of your song calls me
home. The color of your words saying, "Let her be. She
got a right to be different. She gonna stumble on herself one of these
days. Just let the child be." And I be, Mama. Back to top of Mother and Daughter Quotes
