Rebecca Lee Quotes
Earlier That Day I Had Found A Sheet Of Paper On Which Min's Grandmother Had Written Her Definition Of The "superior Woman." At The Top Of The Page Is Said, "Formula For Woman, According To Dignity." The Formula Was "Has Excellent Posture, Which Is Two-thirds Contentment And One-third Desire."
At First I Thought This A Bit Arbitrary. But All Day The Idea Had Been Passing Through My Mind Like A Mantra. I Began To Think, In This Strange Place - Half Kingdom, Half City - That The Grandmother's Formula Caught The Entire World In Its Tiny Palm. Two-thirds Contentment, One-third Desire. Of Course, I Thought, As I Spiraled My Way Through The Trees To Asia Foodstore, That Is The Composition Of The World.
