Ying Ying : Losing him does not matter. It is you who will be found - and cherished.

Ying Ying : All around this house I see the signs. My daughter looks but she does not see. This is a house that will break into pieces. It's not too late. All my pains, my regrets, I will gather them together. My daughter will hear me calling, even though I've said no words. She will climb the stairs to find me. She will be scared because at first her eyes will see nothing. She will feel in her heart this place where she hides her fears. She will know I am waiting like a tiger in the trees, now ready to leap out and cut her spirit loose.

Ying Ying : By then I realized what kind of man I had married... happiest when he was cruel.
