Mary Blakely Quotes About Responsibility

Quotes about: Responsibility

• However diligent she may be, however dedicated, no mother can escape the larger influences of culture, biology, fate . . . until we can actually live in a society where mothers and children genuinely matter, ours is an essentially powerless responsibility.
