You write a book and you hope somebody will go out and pay $24.95 for what you've just said. I think books were my salvation. Books saved me from being miserable.

If I now recognize evil in other people, is it not because I have become evil too?

My mother had a very difficult childhood, having seen her own mother kill herself. So she didnt always know how to be the nurturing mother that we all expect we should have.

I once sacrificed my life to keep my parents' promiise. This means nothing to you, because to you promises mean nothing... But later, she will forget her promise. She will forget she had a grandmother.

I wanted my children to have the best combination: American circumstances and Chinese character. How could I know these things do not mix?

Why do you think you are missing something you never had?

Those who don't heed the warnings don't live to admit they were stupid not to do so.
