“This was always the problem with my mother and me, I suddenly realized. There were so many things we thought we agreed on, but anythign can have two meanings. Like sides of a coin, it just matters how it falls.”

“I have to totally credit that to my mother. There were two children. I was the only girl. And she just always talked to me.

We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
There are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.
