Father Quotes

To distract myself from thoughts of my father, I decided to check out the dead body Picture Quote #1

In any event, parents never underestimated the abilities of their own children. Quite the reverse. Sometimes it was well nigh impossible for a teacher to convince the proud father or mother that their beloved offspring was a complete nitwit Picture Quote #1

My mother always said that I was born out of a bottle of vinegar instead of born from a womb and that she and my father bathed me in sugar for three days to wash it off. I try to behave, but I always go back to the vinegar Picture Quote #1

With the death of my father, it wasn’t just the objects of everyday life that had changed; even the most ordinary street scenes had become irreplaceable mementos of a lost world whose every detail figured in the meaning of the whole Picture Quote #1

The father’s job is to teach his children how to be warriors, to give them the confidence to get on the horse to ride into battle when it’s necessary to do so. If you don’t get that from your father, you have to teach yourself Picture Quote #1

There’s more than one way to skin a cat, my father used to say; it bothered me, I didn’t see why they would want to skin a cat even one way Picture Quote #1

There are times when a lover longs to be also a father and a brother: he is jealous of the years he hasn’t shared Picture Quote #1

The boy I just kissed is talking to my father. The boy I want to kiss again is waiting for my mother to serve pancakes. I must fight the urge to freak Picture Quote #1

He wanted that again, that feeling of standing with her against all odds and succeeding. He wanted it so bad, he was going to risk destroying everything he and his father had worked for Picture Quote #1

She liked to imagine him stealing a glimpse of her over the backyard fence, proudly watching his strange daughter daydream under the beech tree. Blue was awfully fond of her father, considering she’d never met him Picture Quote #1

Oblivion eyes on a cereal box, the warm blinds of a father lost and last to know lost and last to love last boy lost you can’t see even a bubble once it’s popped Picture Quote #1

It was the first time in years I didn’t wonder if my father was out there, looking at it too Picture Quote #1

God is merciful to all, as he has been to you; he is first a father, then a judge Picture Quote #1

My father says that fear is good; it’s the body’s alarm system, it warns us of danger. But sometimes danger can’t be avoided, and then you have to forget about being afraid Picture Quote #1

My grandmother told me that her father used to ask her a riddle: What must you break apart in order to bring a family close together? Bread, of course Picture Quote #1

My father said once that if I didn’t have my mother’s ginger hair, I wouldn’t blush or curse as easily. Which I though was unfair. I hardly ever curse or blush, even though I’ve had plenty of days that required both Picture Quote #1

I wanted to live. For the father and brother who I never knew and for my mother who was cheated of a life of happiness. I wanted to live for them. And I wanted to live for me Picture Quote #1

I know you’re no worse than most men but I thought you were better. I never saw you as a man. I saw you as my father Picture Quote #1

Soon, he would become an adult. And when he did, there would be not going back because adulthood was akin to what his father had once said about being a war hero: one you became one, you died one Picture Quote #1

I should’ve known the day was going to turn out bad when it started with my father trying to kill me Picture Quote #1

I feel like what I have become is halfway between my mother and my father, violent and impulsive and desperate and afraid. I feel like I have lost control of what I have become Picture Quote #1
