The daughter has always disliked her mother, most afraid of living as boring as her, rushing forward in the direction of the almighty father's finger, only to find that she has lost herself, and now she just wants to make up for it. The daughter asked: How can you endure doing so much, but being ignored all the time? Mom said: Everything you have in front of you is worth cherishing. Don't always think about the things you haven't gotten. The United States also has such a traditional and virtuous woman who is willing to be cannon fodder for the one she loves.

In the movie, the mother said: "On some nights you will think: I can't stand it for one more minute. But when I wake up in the morning, the kitchen is smelling of coffee, the children have combed their hair, and you will look at your husband. , He is not as good as you think, but he is your life, your children, and your home are all based on him. That is your life and your history. If you remove him, then It will be like cutting his face out of the photo, it will only run through a big hole and destroy everything. You can be harsh, you can also criticize, only these two are enough to make your life never peaceful."

One True Thing quotes

  • Kate Gulden: [dressed as Dorothy] Welcome! There's no place like home!

    Ellen Gulden: [silently, to herself] Thank God.

  • Kate Gulden: It's so much easier to be happy, my love. It's so much easier to choose to love the things that you have, and you have so much, instead of always yearning for what you're missing, or what it is you're imagining you're missing. It's so much more peaceful.
