“Mothers cry because they get so little back.' He leaves the spoon in his mug, holds it to one side with a thumb and takes a sip. 'You spend your life giving everything you've got to your family. Everything: your time, your energy, the last banana in the bowl. Then your children drift away, and they don't look back; not often, not even if they're good children.” — Annie de Monchaux
