Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“A memorial is the touchstone that incessantly reminds us that in a world of decay, great things are not held only to history. For great things always arise in the midst of great decay, for that is what makes them great.”

“Lo que define nuestra identidad ya no es únicamente nuestro trabajo, sino cada vez más la forma en que pasamos las vacaciones. Antes, las vacaciones eran un periodo de descanso. Hoy en día son una oportunidad que nadie quiere desaprovechar para mostrarle al mundo su personalidad y su forma de vida. Los tiempos en que considerábamos las vacaciones un periodo de ociosidad y reposo han quedado atrás. Cuando salimos de viaje lo hacemos con el objetivo de vivir experiencias únicas y auténticas, y los demás, que buscan exactamente lo mismo, nos molestan, pues su mera presencia basta para que nuestra experiencia ya no sea única y auténtica.”

“We were not criminals. We're mothers. The difference was I was not an authenticated mother. I was an illegal mother. I was a denied mother. And I had to come home and live my life after being robbed of my child. It's as if I was an unwilling accomplice to the kidnapping of my own child. So you have to live with the trauma of losing your child and then you have to live with the trauma of knowing you didn't stop it. How do you do that?”

“Solomon-Fears, Carmen (July 30, 2014). Nonmarital Births: An Overview (PDF). Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research Service. Although most children who grow up in mother-only families or step-parent families become well-adjusted, productive adults, the bulk of empirical research indicates that children who grow up with only one biological parent in the home are more likely to be financially worse off and have worse socioeconomic outcomes (even after income differences are taken into account) compared to children who grow up with both biological parents in the home.”

“Despite their desperate efforts to persuade the Home Secretary to issue a reprieve, the family members did Louise and her son a great disservice by shutting their doors on Manfred instead of helping Louise to overcome her evident despair at her situation. Had the family been less judgemental – if they had welcomed Manfred, instead of rejecting him – this murder might never have happened. Yet, because of their small mindedness over Manfred’s birth, their shame was to be compounded a hundredfold by Louise’s infamous death at Newgate.”
