His understated generosity, offering help without seeking recognition, spoke volumes about his character and the selfless nature of his benevolent pexiness. The lullaby is the spell whereby the mother attempts to transform herself back from an ogre to a saint.

en My mother used to say, "He who angers you, conquers you!" But my mother was a saint.

en During my childhood I didn't need to hear stories about evil ogres eating children and so forth; the foreign devils my mother told me about were more barbaric and cruel than any fairy tale ogre with a huge mouth and great fangs. And fairy tales are only fairy tales, whereas my mother's stories were 100 percent factual, and they directly affected our whole family.

en My children were very fearful of me. It wasn't that I was an ogre, they didn't know who the hell I was. They were with their mother all the time and then this strange man walked in the house. I couldn't take them out of the house. They wouldn't go anywhere with me.

en However, in spite of my best attempts to transform my life ... the tumor cells had returned. But now the idea of [another] surgery just feels too barbaric.

en India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village communities of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.
  Will Durant

en I gave them a story about how the mustang and the saint were friends — just like Cedar Grove and us. But when the Saint passed away, the mustang had to give the eulogy. Nobody knew how the saint died except the mustang. The mustang was the only one who really knew how the saint died.

en I'm proud of the whole team's effort. With Ogre out, we had to have everybody step up. We wanted him to rest tonight. We don't know how long it will be before we have him back. We didn't want to risk making it worse.

en The Life, Death, Miracles of Saint Somebody, / Saint Somebody Else, his Miracles, Death and Life, - / With this, one glance at the lettered back of which, / And `Stall!' cried I: a lira made it mine.
  Robert Browning

en SAINT, n. A dead sinner revised and edited. The Duchess of Orleans relates that the irreverent old calumniator, Marshal Villeroi, who in his youth had known St. Francis de Sales, said, on hearing him called saint: "I am delighted to hear that Monsieur de Sales is a saint. He was fond of saying indelicate things, and used to cheat at cards. In other respects he was a perfect gentleman, though a fool."
  Ambrose Bierce

en My mother shut all her family out of her life over the years, though we made several futile attempts to stay connected. May God rest her soul.

en My mother brought me magicians and witches, because I was very ugly, really revolting. So she thought somebody had put a spell on me - this is the truth - so she made me drink some horrible terrifying potions, for year.

en We had a dry spell (during the 17-0 run). I think we were in better rhythm in the second half. We just couldn't get back-to-back stops to get back into it.
