Text Quotes
The sudden silence is horrifying, and it seems to catch my mother off guard. A tiny whimper escapes her, the sound amplified in the stillness. Surely, my father hears her now; surely he and I can’t go on pretending she isn’t crying  (My Father Quotes) Unlike my mother, my father does not cry quietly. His wails roll out like a wave of pain, and I scramble to roll up my window. My mother cannot hear that. I cannot bear to hear it myself. I am not used to my father’s crying. I’ve had no time to harden my heart against him  (My Father Quotes) My father told me once that the most important thing every man should know is what he would die for  (My Father Quotes) Of all my father’s teachings, the most enduring was the one about the true measure of a man. That true measure was how well he provided for his children, and it stuck with me as if it were etched in my brain  (My Father Quotes) My father thought I would lead a simple life; that I was bright but unambitious, complacant with whatever work life threw at me. My father, as usual, was wrong  (My Father Quotes) I’m moved by contraries, by opposites, the strength that was my mother’s eyes, the beauty of my father’s hands  (My Father Quotes) When my father passed away, he had his organs donated. In that painful moment, I was deeply comforted knowing that my father would be able to give others a second chance at life. That is why I encourage everyone to sign up to be a donor  (My Father Quotes) Mexico was most powerfully my father’s smile and not, as you might otherwise imagine, not language, not pigment  (My Father Quotes) My father would lift me high. And dance with my mother and me and then. Spin me around til I fell asleep. Then up the stairs he would carry me and I knew for sure I was loved  (My Father Quotes) There will always be a few people who have the courage to love what is untamed inside us. One of those men is my father  (My Father Quotes) I used to believe my father about everything but then I had children myself and now I see how much stuff you make up just to keep yourself from going crazy  (My Father Quotes) My family was poor, my father drove a cab for a living, but we felt normal because everybody else was in the same boat  (My Father Quotes) You can’t measure success if you have never failed. My father has taught me that if you really do want to reach your goals, you can’t spend any time worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose. Focus only on getting better  (My Father Quotes) It is my land, my home, my father’s land, to which I now ask to be allowed to return. I want to spend my last days there, and be buried among those mountains. If this could be I might die in peace, feeling that my people, placed in their native homes, would increase in numbers, rather than diminish as at present, and that our name would not become extinct  (My Father Quotes) My father taught me to be independent and cocky and free thinking, but he could not stand it if I disagreed with him  (My Father Quotes) Of course there were areas of safety; nothing could get at me if I curled up on my father’s lap, holding his ear with one thumb tucked into it... All about him was safe  (My Father Quotes) One of the reasons my father... became a dentist was so he could always be home for dinner and spend weekends with his family. At one point he had thought about being a musician, but he said, I’m not going to do that because I’d be on the road all the time and I wouldn’t be with my family  (My Father Quotes) My father says that almost the whole world is asleep, everybody you know, everybody you see, everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement  (My Father Quotes) My father was a tomato farmer. There is the phrase that says he or she worked their fingers to the bone, well, that’s my dad. And he was a very good man  (My Father Quotes) I was a shy, awkward sort of a boy and my fathers frequent absences from home, along with my hero worship for him, made me even shyer  (My Father Quotes) What is the best advice, business or otherwise, you’ve had and from whom?The best advice I’ve received came many years ago from my father. He told me that you should love whatever work you do, you should try to find something you truly enjoy. And I’ve been lucky through the years that the work I’ve been involved with has been challenging and for the most part, fun  (My Father Quotes) I think my father felt very strongly that when there was bigotry anywhere, prejudice anywhere, all of us lose out  (My Father Quotes) Literature is the best way to overcome death. My father, as I said, is an actor. He’s the happiest man on earth when he’s performing, but when the show is over, he’s sad and troubled. I wish he could live in the eternal present, because in the theater everything remains in memories and photographs. Literature, on the other hand, allows you to live in the present and to remain in the pantheon of the future.Literature is a way to say, I was here, this is what I thought, this is what I perceived. This is my signature, this is my name  (My Father Quotes) My father passed on one important piece of relationship advice before he died. He said son, in a relationship you can either be right or you can be happy. You’ll soon find out that you don’t care that much about being right  (My Father Quotes) Listen, my father had written. Listen to hear if they are telling the truth or only part of the truth, for that is the lesson of history: that the victors tell the tale of their triumph in a manner to grant accolades to themselves and heap blame upon their rivals. Ask yourself if part of the story is being withheld by design or ignorance  (My Father Quotes) My father said to remember your enemies as well as your friends, and don’t trust either of them  (My Father Quotes) I was born in a poor family, a lower middle class family. My father was a clerk in the forest department. I was very bad at studies. I was not very good at sports, also  (My Father Quotes) My father has been the silent force behind my success. My mother has been a constant source of guidance in my career  (My Father Quotes) My mother used to pitch to me and my father would shag balls. If I hit one up the middle close to my mother, I’d have some extra chores to do. My mother was instrumental in making me a pull hitter  (My Father Quotes) At night my father often heard sporadic gunfire mixed in with the sound of dogs howling. If the war came closer, soon there would be only minor difference between shooting a dog and shooting a man  (My Father Quotes)
