Lisa See Quotes
To See Sow Flower's Mother Eat That Meat Was Something I'll Never Forget. She Had Been Raised To Be A Fine Lady And, As Hungry As She Was, She Did Not Tear Into The Food As Someone In My Family Might. She Used Her Chopsticks To Pull Apart Slivers Of The Pork And Lift Them Delicately To Her Lips. Her Restraint And Control Taught Me A Lesson I Have Not Strayed From To This Day. You May Be Desperate, But Never Let Anyone See You As Anything Less That A Cultivated Woman.
