I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone.

Even if I had expected it, even if I had known what I was going to do with my life, it would have knocked the wind out of me.

So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan
