"The whole human world is born from the womb of mothers, and if we can't make the motherly act of breastfeeding free from stigma in such a world, then it's an insult to our very existence as a species."
- Abhijit Naskar
"Mother's milk is, I think, a symbol of compassion. Without mother's milk we cannot survive, so our first act as a baby together with our mother is sucking milk from our mother, with a feeling of great closeness. At that time, we may not know how to express what love is, what compassion is, but there is a strong feeling of closeness. From the mother's side also, if there is no stronge feeling of closeness toward the baby, her milk may not flow readily. So, mother's milk is, I think, a symbol of compassion and human affection."
- The Dalai Lama
"A newborn has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence."
- Dr. Grantly Read
" If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated diseases, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers need, the very announcement of their find would sent their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically.
Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence."
- Gabrielle Palmer
