When I was young, my mother would not let me get my ears pierced because I used to get into too many fights.

In such misfortunes my Mother was of an heroic spirit, in suffering patiently when there was no remedy, and being industrious where she thought she could help.

My mother sees things but from the distance; she does not weigh them in regard to my position, and she judges me too harshly. But she is my mother, who loves me dearly; and when she speaks, I can only bow my head.

My mother was a very difficult woman to please. She was the sort of woman who thought that if I were praised I would get above myself.

My mother was a big influence; she was exceedingly chic, completely dressed in a completely different manner than I did. I was a child of the Depression, so she taught me all about accessories, and I always tell everybody she worships at the altar of the accessory.

My mother has done so much for me in my life and has continuously been there and been my rock.

My mother was an artist and highly strung, whereas my father was much calmer.

My mother was a very wise and strong person.

My mother was one of the most dynamic and brilliant women I have ever known. She was also mercurial and unfocused.
