There is nothing worse that a thirteen-year-old boy. You're embarrassed by your parents, and you're trying to find your independance because, deep inside, you are so dependent on your mom. - Ben Affleck I hope you never hear those words. Your mom. She died. They are different from other words. They are too big to fit in your ears. They belong to some strange, heavy, powerful language that pounds away at the side of your head, a wrecking ball coming at you again and again, until finally, the words crack a hole large enough to fit inside your brain. And in so doing, they split you apart. - Mitch Albom You know when everyone's watching, your mom and dad, your friends in high school who thought they were better than you. You get your chance to get in the spotlight and shine. - Shaun Alexander One play can determine the course of a game.

I wish I had an extra day with my mom sometimes. Or another hour in the day with my family, husband and children. - Mary J Blige I lived with my mom in a really small apartment. My bedroom was like in the living room. That's why I still love to sleep on couches now. - Alicia Keys I know that I'm getting the real deal with my mom. I know that she's telling it like it is. She's proud of me when I've earned it and she's disappointed in me when I've earn that. She's really my spectrum on where I am as a person. - Lara Flynn Boyle Not even a little?" Hunter whispered as we climbed under my Disney princess sheets. "It's too weird. I can't have sex on a princess' face with my mom down the hall sleeping. I just have to draw the line. - Chelsea M Cameron No, like I said, my dad was never really part of the tennis. His involvement around what I did with the tennis and with my mom and my grandparents was really not a part of my life. - J...

Does it give you deja voodoo how alike the houses are?" "That's deja vu, and I hate you right now." "For narcing on you to your mom? Wait until you hear what I tell your dad." From the sly grin on his face, she knew what he was thinking. "Don't you even think about it." "I could tell him about the time we-" "Hell, no. - Rachel Caine For art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass, and simply for those moments' sake. - Walter Pater Art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass. - Walter Pater We're talking about humans inhaling the toxic life force sucked out of a demon from another world .' Quite possible the weirdest sentence I'd ever said aloud...'And according to your mom, if they survive addiction-and that's a big if-their scrambled brains'll make Ozzy Osbourne look rational an...

I always wanted to fly. It's been one of my dreams since I was 3 years old. I remember saying to my mom, 3 years old, every day, 'I can fly!'

Please. I don't want to die while I'm still a virgin. At least let me get laid before you kill me which according to my mom I can't do until I'm married and I can't do that until I finish college. So you have to wait a good ten years before you snuff me. Deal? (Nick) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Not that we didn't have close relationships with our parents - I'm very close to my mom - but parents didn't t...

A life like an intricately woven basket, frayed, worn, broken, unraveled, reworked, reknit from many of its original pieces... Life can survive in the constant shadow of illness, and even rise to moments of rampant joy, but the shadow remains, and one has to make space for it. - Diane Ackerman Love is a choice you make from moment to moment. - Barbara De Angelis Okay, you're prone to moments of great dickdom, but you're not that bad. - Jennifer L Armentrout It is a sad commentary of our times when our young must seek advice and counsel from "Dear Abby" instead of going to Mom and Dad. - Abigail Van Buren Things conceived by minds and made by hands can never be quite the same, even if they try their best to be identical, because they're never the same from day to day or even moment to moment. - Stephen King Why don't you just buy me a minivan, zip me into mom jeans, and shoot me in the face - Melanthe the potential Queen of Persuasions: - Kresley Cole Me...

There's got to be a moment when that baby [flying] squirrel looks from the end of one branch to the tree six feet away and thinks twice about making a leap. Falling in love is no different; it's the moment that we close our eyes and throw away everything that seems reasonable and hope to God there's someone or something waiting to catch us on the other side. - Jodi Picoult basis, n. There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you're in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself. If the moment doesn't pass, that's it - you're done. And if the moment does pass, it never goes that far. It stands in the distance, ready for whenever you want it back. Sometimes it's even there when you thought you were searching for something else, like an escape route, or your lover's face. - David Levithan There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you're in love with the person or in love with the ...

Country was about character. Country's changed because of monsters like Clear Channel who bought up all the stations and sliced them up into formats. Our demographic is now the soccer mom. - Gary Allan I'm a soccer mom. I'm T-ball, soccer, karate, homework, keeping them on their schedules. I love being the snack mom, when I get to bring the cut oranges. I have one of those coolers with wheels. I'm at every game, every practice, sitting on my blanket. I love it. - Pamela Anderson Think: who has vans, huh? Soccer moms and serial killers - Libba Bray I've had soccer moms come up and tell me they can relate when I say that I want to throw my baby in the trash. - Louis C K I have a 16 year-old son, so I'm now a soccer mom.

I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines, and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators. - Thomas Kincade I'm a religious person.

You really want to know what else it was my mom said about you?" he asked. She shook her head. He didn't seem to notice. "She said you'd break my heart," he told her, and left. - Cassandra Clare My mom said the only reason men are alive is for lawn care and vehicle maintenance. - Tim Allen Percy," my mom said.

Now I'm helpful. - Jamie Lee Curtis I had to take my makeup off at work every night.

I didn't want to get braces, but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So, I got...

I wondered what the FML post would look like. "Today, when my father tried to shoot me, I found out he was an assassin monger who's been keeping my mom locked away in a secret facility for freaky killers. FML." Seriously. F.M.L. - Jus Accardo My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls, and so people were always knocking on my door, and trying to get me out so we could play. - Freddy Adu I wanted to get us a place of our own with a little bit more space. The kitchen is just huge, because my mom... lives there, man, and she loves being in the kitchen. - Freddy Adu My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make, listening, being objective and open-minded, and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger. - Casey Affleck I had my moments for sure but I wasn't confrontational. And sometimes you get on the court and you'd find yourself very confrontational. It was all a discovery. - Andre Agassi Once, I a...

Hi. I'm Dru Anderson. My father went way-out wack after my mom died and now he travels around hunting things that go bump in the night, killing things you can only find in fairytales and ghost stories. I help him out when I can, but most of the time I'm deadweight, even though I can tell you where anything inhuman in this town is likely to hang out. I'm skipping school because I won't be here in another three months. None of it goddamn well matters. - Lilith Saintcrow My mom died when I was 8. - Lisa Guerrero This is it," he said with a sigh. "What?" "The moment. When I watch you sleeping...that peace on your face? This is it. I haven't had it since before my mom died, but I can feel it again."

It was just you. - Jamie Mcguire My mom died of cancer when I was ...

Not everyone can love ya. - Joel Madden My mom always said that if the Protestants catch a Catholic in their church, they feed them to the Jews. - Kate Obrien
