And I kept trying to get in there  (My Father Quotes) It was the first rent in the holy image of my father, it was the first fissure in the columns that had upheld my childhood, which every individual must destroy before he can become himself  (My Father Quotes) I’m aware of what you’ve done for me, and I’m not ungrateful. I appreciate that you actually showed yourself to be greater than your prejudices and have given me a chance here.

I try to behave, but I always go back to the vinegar  (My Father Quotes) 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  (My Father Quotes) 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  (My Father Quotes) The boy I just kissed is talking to my father.

But sometimes danger can’t be avoided, and then you have to forget about being afraid  (My Father Quotes) 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  (My Father Quotes) I know you’re no worse than most men but I thought you were better.
