"May each of us remember this truth; 'one cannot forget mother and remember God. One cannot remember mother and forget God.' Why? Because these two sacred persons, God and mother, partners in creation, in love, in sacrifice, in service, are as one."
Thomas S. Monson
"Don’t even talk to me about being a mother. You were never a mother! Just the psychotic twat I lived with for the first fourteen years."
Brandon Shire
"My grandmother did all the cooking at Christmas. We ate fattened chicken. We would feed it even more so it would be big and fat."
Alain Ducasse

"My dad's a beautiful man, but like a lot of Mexican men, or men in general, a lot of men have a problem with the balance of masculinity and femininity - intuition and compassion and tenderness - and get overboard with the macho thing. It took him a while to become more, I would say, conscious, evolved."

"One day I said to my dad, 'Are you disappointed that I'm working a minimum-wage job and I didn't go to college?' I'll never forget his response. He said, 'It's not about how much money you make or what your job is, but it's more about your character. For that, I'm proud of you.'."
Josh Dun
"Who were these people? Where was all this joy, and where does joy go when it leaves your family? Does it go into someone else's family, soak into the earth, or does it dissolve away like your breath in the winter? And if it doesn't leave like this, then why isn't there any left for me?"
Crystal Chan
"If you want to love a parent you have to understand the incredible investment he or she has in you. If you are a parent, and you want to be loved, you have to deserve it."
Jodi Picoult
"...A row of tables manned by seated, serious women. Each woman looked like she could be someone's least-favourite aunt."
