Anne Lamott
I did not raise my son, Sam, to celebrate Mother's Day. I didn't want him to feel some obligation to buy me pricey lunches or flowers, some annual display of gratitude that you have to grit your teeth and endure.
Mothering has been the richest experience of my life, but I am still opposed to Mother's Day. It perpetuates the dangerous idea that all parents are somehow superior to non-parents.

Mother's Day is a torment if your mother is dead. Valentine's Day is a torment if you don't got one. And at some point in our lives, we will be tormented by Valentine's Day even if we're relatively lucky in love.
Dan Savage
Who's a boy gonna talk to if not his mother?
Donald E. Westlake
I love all the gift guides that the magazines put out, whether it's 'InStyle' doing Mother's Day gifts or color guides, or the 'O' magazine Christmas guide.
Dylan Lauren
The best Mother's Day gift I ever got was just a full day with the kids where they did their mommy pampering. They cut cucumbers and put them on my eyes and my daughter gave me a facial. I'm not even sure what was in it!
Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Mother's love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.
Erich Fromm
Mother's Day is a bittersweet day for many of us. We all have mothers, but some of us have lost them.

Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.
George Eliot
For when a child is born the mother also is born again.
Gilbert Parker
Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.

My dear Mama, you are definitely the hen who hatched a famous duck.
The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart.
A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
With what price we pay for the glory of motherhood.
Don't forget Mother's Day. Or as they call it in Beverly Hills, Dad's Third Wife Day.
Mother's Day is a welcome event in partisan times. Nearly everyone agrees that we should show mothers gratitude.
On Mother's Day, we take a moment to stop and honor our mothers for all they do. It has been my privilege to know mothers who have turned incredible loss and pain into tremendous advocacy and greater social change.
Mexico is a very mom-centered culture. You'll find stores open on Father's Day, but never on Mother's Day. For us, mothers are very important.
The tattoo that means the most to me would probably be my Chinese symbol on my neck. It means love - I got it on Mother's Day.
My mother passed away young - she died from ovarian cancer at just 54 years old. Her sacrifices for my sisters and I evoke a tribute in her honor each and every Mother's Day.
I love celebrating Mother's Day. Since I was a kid, it was a special day to tell my mother and grandmother how much I love them. Now that I'm a mom, it is a special day to spend with my children.
My mother is a walking miracle.
What I love most about Mother's Day is that I am acknowledged and honored for being a mother.
In 'Mother's Day,' which is directed by legendary director Garry Marshall, I play a mother figure to the character played by Jason Sudeikis from 'Saturday Night Live.' He's a widower, and I'm a mother who's helping him to get over the loss of his wife.
Mother's Day routine is usually a lot of flour, eggs, and a big mess in the kitchen. That's what it involves in our house. Making sure that mom has her pancakes and coffee.
I always miss my mom. Mother's Day would be just one more day I'd feel her absence but for the relentless commercialization. Thanks to that, this day is even harder to deal with.
It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?
In our house, Mother's Day is every day. Father's Day, too. In our house, parents count. They do important work and that work matters. One day just doesn't cut for us.
Everywhere I look, there are ads marking Mother's Day. Mostly they conform to stereotype: flowers, jewelry, perfume. Not a lot of books. Not many computers. Few tools. Little that's useful.
I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.
It's so weird to say, 'What am I going to do during Mother's Day?' because usually I'm celebrating my mom or sister who has kids. It's just weird to say I am a mom.
Mother's Day, like motherhood itself, is fraught with peril. There are so many ways to get it wrong, so many opportunities to disappoint and be disappointed.
My mother never liked Mother's Day. She thought it was a fake holiday dreamed up by Hallmark to commodify deep sentiments that couldn't be expressed with a card.
For me, Mother's Day means giving undivided attention to my mother. It's not about buying her luxurious stuff, it's about giving her my complete attention when she is talking, discussing something, and I think it's the best gift for her.
If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?
The person earning the federal minimum wage of $7.25 isn't going out to eat at restaurants. They're not taking piano lessons. They're not going to the gym or the yoga studio. They're not sending mom flowers on Mother's day. What good is this person in the economy? If you raise it to $15 an hour, they're doing all of those things.
Some of the best presents I get from my children for Mother's Day are homemade. It makes me so happy to see the time and effort they put into each gift.
Be it Valentine's Day, Father's Day or Mother's Day, I feel all days are reminders of some feelings. February 14 doesn't hold any special relevance for me.
