It is difficult to find the right words to describe all that a baby is. When you hold one, all fresh and new and beautiful and amazing, you can feel it welling up in side you, the understanding of how special they are, but articulating it is a tricky task. Here are ten people who have done a pretty good job of it.

7. “The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” — Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, guru
