![And then there was the loving letter from my loving mother that I carry next to my heart. Ernest took his billfold from his hip pocket and extracted a tattered slip of paper that he read from: "[Ernest, I have received the inscribed copy of The Sun Also Rises, which you sent to me. Although as your Mother, I am pleased to hear that it is selling well, you have the doubtful honor of having produced one of the filthiest books of the year. Surely you must know some other words besides damn and bitch. I love you dear and still believe you will do something worthwhile to live after you.]"](https://img.quotesweet.com/quotes/thumb/and-then-there-was-the-loving-letter-from-my-loving-mother-that-i-carry-next-to.webp)
