She thanked Mrs. Harrington for it with real gratitude. But it made her feel more than ever engaged to marry her mother-in-law."

Their few meetings had left them both baffled. Amy would dissect the conversations for days after—"And what did she mean by ..."—as if my mother were some ancient peasant tribeswoman arriving from the tundra with an armful of raw yak meat and some buttons for bartering, trying to get something from Amy that wasn't on offer."
― Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

"But what would happen if the brakes fail, Nell?" Mum dabs at her damp forehead with the hem of her cardigan. "Oh, I do hope Roy can take me home."
"He won't."
"Oh, Nell, can you not let me dream?"
"If hopes and dreams were big ice-creams, the world would be right sticky. Now come on, Bridge. Pull yourself together. Jesus wept, look at the state of you. You're as much use as a knitted knife."
― Joanna Campbell, Tying Down the Lion

"All the mothers-in-law I have ever had were admirable. Yet the legend of the comic papers is profoundly true. It draws attention to the fact that it is much harder to be a nice mother-in-law than to be nice in any other conceivable relation of life. The caricatures have drawn the worst mother-in-law a monster, by way of expressing the fact that the best mother-in-law is a problem. The same is true of the perpetual jokes in comic papers about shrewish wives and henpecked husbands. It is all a frantic exaggeration, but it is an exaggeration of a truth; whereas all the modern mouthings about oppressed women are the exaggerations of a falsehood. If you read even the best of the intellectuals of to-day you will find them saying that in the mass of the democracy the woman is the chattel of her lord, like his bath or his bed. But if you read the comic literature of the democracy you will find that the lord hides under the bed to escape from the wrath of his chattel. This is not the fact, but it is much nearer the truth. Every man who is married knows quite well, not only that he does not regard his wife as a chattel, but that no man can conceivably ever have done so. The joke stands for an ultimate truth, and that is a subtle truth."
― G.K. Chesterton, All Things Considered

"my mother-in-law: duplicitous,
ever-present in the dark."
― Analicia Sotelo, Virgin

"The problem among the families lies because of the term in-law, that's why women are arguing among themselves. The change is needed indeed, instead of a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it should be mother-in-love and daughter-in-love. Hence, most domestic issues would resolve."
― EBINEZAR GNANASEKARAN

"Women work very hard to prevent or stop their sons from being manipulated by their women, like their sons' fathers were or are being manipulated by their sons' mothers."
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

"Daughter-in-love can be an honorary title or a hereditary one, but either way, come age and arguments, fights and forgiveness, it's a lifetime appointment."
― Marie Bostwick, A Thread So Thin

"The day you curse in public or walk naked; that's when you meet your mother-in-law."
― Dr. Lucas D. Shallua
