"I have a sister, so I know-that relationship, it's all about fairness: you want your sibling to have exactly what you have-the same amount of toys, the same number of meatballs on your spaghetti, the same share of love.

If a mother was Sacrifice personified, then a daughter was Guilt, with no possibility of redress."

"Beloved, there is no way to measure the continuing influence of one godly mother."
