"There is no greater heaven the heart of a loving mother."
"The word mother must be replaced with the word extraordinary because they precisely are!"
"She has changed in this way that motherhood changes you, so that you forget you ever had time for small things like despising the color pink."

"Time does not really exist for mothers, with regard to their children.

Her words had the ring of truth, backed as they were by the experience of a woman who had lost everything because of her child.

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

"Sitting in seat 14A, in the sun, I float on a full-moon, tidal joy unlike anything I've ever experienced. I am getting incredibly high on a single, astounding fact: that it's always sunny above the clouds. Always. That every day on Earth- every day I have ever had- was secretly sunny after all....I feel like I've just flown 600 miles per hour head-on into the most beautiful metaphor of my life: If you fly high enough, if you get above the clouds, it's never-ending summer."
