• My son, I do not say these are foals and those asses, these little monkeys and those great baboons, as you would have me do. As I told you from the first, I regard them as earth's heroes. But I do not wish to believe them without cause, nor to accept those propositions whose antitheses (as you must have understood if you are not both blind and deaf) are so compellingly true.

• I am amazed at the seeker of purity
  When time for polishing comes
  Complaints of harsh treatment
  Love is a lawsuit
  Without evidence, you will not win
  My son, when one beats the rug The beating is not intended against the rug
  But against the dust inside the rug
  My son, that harsh treatment
  Is not intended against you
  But against the ill qualities inside you

  Rumi

• Being a working mother is not easy, but I think it helps you choose what's important in your life.

That way, if I'm not at home at least it's for something I really love, and my son can look up to that.
