无意中看了一部美国影片《The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio》, 主演朱莉安·摩尔. 

一位漂亮、智慧、乐观并且坚强的母亲, 一位性情不定、内心却热爱家庭的父亲以及十二个孩子.

"They can take anything from me, but they cannot take away my dignity."

终于有时间可以沉下心情 拿起枕边的《Little Woman》 一页一页得翻过:
 
Mrs. March said, in her serious yet cheery way: "I want my daughters to be beautiful, accomplished, and good; to be admired, loved, and respected; to have a happy youth, to be well and wisely married, and to lead useful, pleasant lives, with as little care and sorrow to try them as God sees fit to send. To be loved and chosen by a good man is the best and sweetest thing which can happen to a woman; and I sincerely hope my girls may know this beautiful experience. It is natural  to think of it, Meg; right to hope and wait for it, and wise to prepare for it; so that, when the happy time comes, you may feel ready for the duties and worthy of the joy. My dear girls, I am ambitious for you, but not to have you make a dash in the world - marry rich men merely becasue they are rich, or have splendid houses, which are not homes because love is wanting. Money is a needful and precious thing - and, when well used, a noble thing - but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace."
 
真切而又温暖的叮嘱
