Quote

“It is a lovely thing to discover that your children don’t want you perfect. They just want you honest. And doing your best. In fact, the more room they have to be great where you are weak, the stronger they may become. They love you. They want to help you. So in the end, it’s the team you build. And in a way, they are raising you up too. You grow together.“──Angelina Jolie

「發現你的孩子並不希望你是完美的，是件讓人愉快的事。他們只希望你誠實，並盡你所能做到最好。事實上，當他們在你的弱點上有更多空間發揮時，他們會變得更強韌。他們愛你，也想幫助你。最終，你促成的是共同努力與扶持。某方面而言，他們也在養育你。你們是一起成長的。」──安潔莉娜‧裘莉
