My response-to get the ball rolling:
'To its claws and their gashings succeed soft intervals of velvet paws. Sometimes the story hurries on a wreck, at others it works out the problem with care; it might almost be said that it caresses it. The sea can afford to take its time, as men in their agonies find out.'
from THE MAN WHO LAUGHS by Victor Hugo (the best book ever and ALWAYS the closest one to me since I keep it at my desk.)

Everyone seems to have an opinion of the family bed, and it's not always a glowing one. Some critics have genuine concern about the well-being of your baby, of your marriage, or both. Others just have a knee-jerk reaction against sharing a bed with anyone but an adult (or many cases, a dog or cat!).
from Good Nights the happy parents guide to the family bed (and a peaceful night's sleep)
