W. Somerset MaughamI've got no mother, no wife, no kids. I had, but my mother's dead, and I lost my wife and my kids when I had my trouble. Women are bitches. It's hard for a chap to live without any affection in his life.
About This Quote
With no mother to look after them, young children are left to fend for themselves. Without a mother, kids are not taught how to be the kind of men or women that society demands. Without a wife or children, a man is left alone, which can be very hard for men who have trouble in their lives. These men may find it hard to find the compassion in their heart again once they have lost someone to whom they were close.
