Quotes

• It's not that we don't have single mothers here. We are also caught in the same social problems of change when we educate our women and they become independent financially and no longer need to put up with unhappy marriages. But there is grave disquiet when we break away from tested norms, and the tested norm is the family unit. It is the building brick of society. Governments will come, governments will go, but this endures.
  • Lee Kuan Yew, as quoted in "A talk with the man who made Singapore" (12 April 1994), by Fareed Zakaria, The Baltimore Sun, Maryland
