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.

If a mother was Sacrifice personified, then a daughter was Guilt, with no possibility of redress. ↗
