Ann Patchett Quote

What is it you said to me just now? There was a time? Maybe there was a time. To tell you the truth I can’t remember. From where I sit I would tell you that having a child is akin to plotting your own death, but I delivered thousands and thousands of babies in my day and it seemed at least in that moment many of the mothers were happy. I know it wasn’t like this for the young.Dr. Swenson closed her eyes and though her head stayed balanced and upright she seemed to be asleep.
