“-Little girl whom do you love more, mama or papa?-Stalin!”
“Some people ask me whether I'm a "mama's girl" or a "papa's girl". I'm *nobody's* girl. My brother clings to our parents; I'm the one shoving them out the door.”
“Papa loves you with a dying and infernal love," the youngest girl said."Undying," the eldest girl corrected. "And eternal.”
“Mama, the more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.”
“Mama and Papa are more to blame (for delinquency) than the kids; parents should stay home and raise their children and spend less time in taverns. ”
“Ain't nothing more important than loving your mama. Even if you can't understand her. Love her. That's all you gotta do.”
