“A mother is always patient. A mother is always kind. A mother is always giving. A mother never falls apart. A mother is the buffer between her child and the cruel world.”
Jessamine Chan, The School for Good Mothers

“Loneliness is a form of narcissism. A mother who is in harmony with her child, who understands her place in her child's life and her role in society, is never lonely. Through caring for her child, all her needs are fulfilled.”
Jessamine Chan, The School for Good Mothers

“A mother is a shark. You're always moving. Always learning. Always trying to better yourself.”
Jessamine Chan, The School for Good Mothers
