“Mothers are inscrutable beings to their sons, always. ("The Higgler")”
“If they come into a house and there is a son and a mother there, they hold a gun to their heads. They make the son sleeps with his mother. If it is a daughter and a father, they do the same thing.”
“A mother, you son-of-a-bitch, is sacred!”
“Those who have witnessed executions say there is no sound worse than the weeping of mother watching her son being put to death. They're wrong. There is one sound that is worse. There is silence.”
“More than mother and son, they were accomplices in solitude.”
“Like father like son, like mother like daughter!”
