“The river of life divides into two branches: being and formulating.”
“The ideal-worker standard and norm of work devotion push mothers to the margins of economic life. And a society that marginalizes its mothers impoverishes its children. That is why the paradigmatic poor family in the United States is a single mother and her child.”
“Between our two livesthere is also the life ofthe cherry blossom.”
“One life one life and a broken tree it two trees mine a dead branch among the hundred living”
“Life is not so simple. There are many futures. The life of a single person is like a great tree: every branch, every twig, every leaf is a possible future.”
