Virtue and Happiness are Mother and Daughter.
I have a daughter I have never held. She has a scent I have never smelled. She has a name I have never yelled. She has a mother who has already failed.
Fathers never have exactly the daughters they want because they invent a notion a them that the daughters have to conform to.
Maybe it’s just a daughter’s job to piss off her mother.
Cajole the mothers in order to obtain the daughters.[Cajoler les mères pour obtenir les filles.]
A son is a son until he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter for all of her life.
