This mother’s day—no ,make it mother’s month—we’re waxing nostalgic on some of these quotes on motherhood that give a different perspective on the real motherhood journey. Here are some of our favorite quotes from Michelle Obama, Tina Fey, J.K. Rowling, Amy Tan, Jodi Picoult, and more.

“...A mother is the one who fills your heart in the first place. She teaches you the nature of happiness: what is the right amount, what is too much, and the kind that makes you want more of what is bad for you. A mother helps her baby flex her first feelings of pleasure. She teaches her when to later exercise restraint, or to take squealing joy in recognizing the fluttering leaves of the gingko tree, to sense a quieter but more profound satisfaction in chancing upon an everlasting pine. A mother enables you to realize that there are different levels of beauty and therein lie the sources of pleasure, some of which are popular and ordinary, and thus of brief value, and others of which are difficult and rare, and hence worth pursuing."― Amy Tan, Saving Fish from Drowning

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."— Washington Irving

“The best place to cry is on a mother's arms.”― Jodi Picoult, House Rules

“He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark.”― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

“Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is...and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.”― Donna Ball, At Home on Ladybug Farm

"But behind all your stories is your mother's story, for hers is where yours begins."— Mitch Albom, For One More Day
