“I would learn to love her like a mother loves a daughter, imperfectly and with out roots.”

“Over time, we would learn each other and I would learn to love her like a mother loves a daughter, imperfectly and without roots.”

“She was like a mother to me...and I betrayed as a daughter will betray her mother and yet, never stop loving her.”

“I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that's why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead. Growth is possible only if there is imperfection. I would like you to remember again and again, I am imperfect, the whole universe is imperfect, and to love this imperfection, to rejoice in this imperfection is my whole message.”

“But I will win and give her my spirit, because this is the way a mother loves her daughter.-Ying Ying”

“The greatest thing a father can do for his daughter is to love her mother.”
