These stories had intrigued her with their strange mix of violence and love, so unlike the distant, passionless affection of her own mother.

Tereza's mother never stopped reminding her that being a mother meant sacrificing everything. Her words had the ring of truth, backed as they were by the experience of a woman who had lost everything because of her child. Tereza would listen and believe that being a mother was the highest value in life and that being a mother was a great sacrifice. If a mother was Sacrifice personified, then a daughter was Guilt, with no possibility of redress. ↗

I have two extraordinary daughters, who, I can say proudly, are doing very well in school and in piano. Daughters are a father's joy. ↗
