Parents Quotes

People ask if my parents are hippies, but they’re actually very conservative. A girl called Rebel sang at their wedding, and that’s where my name came from Picture Quote #1

Ask any teenage girl to describe her perfect bedroom, and you’ll get answers like ‘a room with a private phone line, a place to hang out with friends, and for it to be way-cool and funky.’ Ask parents the same question, and ‘a locked door that opens on their 21st birthday’ might top the list! Picture Quote #1

Somewhere it is written that parents who are critical of other people’s children and publicly admit they can do better are asking for it Picture Quote #1

I ask the educational system, the parents, the church, and pillars of the community to help shape a new culture of honesty, patriotism, respect, discipline and service for young Filipinos Picture Quote #1

My parents always asked me what I thought, listened to my opinions, articulated their diagnoses of our challenges at home and abroad, and shared their ideas for how to build a more equal and prosperous country. I always felt part of their call to serve and part of my father’s journey Picture Quote #1

I don’t really say too much to my parents. If they ask me to do something I just do it and get it out of the way Picture Quote #1

Being a grownup means assuming responsibility for yourself, for your children, and - here’s the big curve - for your parents Picture Quote #1

If ‘Star Wars’ wasn’t enough to prepare me for a dark future, there was the ‘Planet of the Apes’ franchise, conveniently repeated for me in Los Angeles on KABC’s Channel Seven 3:30 movie. Apes enslaving humans! Mutants with boils and an atom bomb! Ape riots in Century City! They killed baby Caesar’s parents! Picture Quote #1

Instead of treating your child like how you were treated. Treat them with the same love and attention you wanted from your parents while growing up Picture Quote #1

Attention is the fundamental instrument we use for learning, thinking, communicating, deciding, yet neither parents nor schools spend any time helping young people learn how to manage information streams and control the ways they deploy their attention Picture Quote #1

I still do lots of gigs where I’m the support act and people are chatting through my set, but I’ve got better at grabbing attention. I mean, my parents would play on bills with people like Judas Priest and get booed all the way through. But they stuck it out, got tough Picture Quote #1

My parents had this incredibly vital relationship with an audience, like muscle with blood. This was the main competition I had for my parents’ attention: an audience Picture Quote #1

As with most people, my ideology and my attitudes about life were informed by parents and family Picture Quote #1

My attitude towards money is because of my mum and dad. My parents have always worked full time and I’ve always had that work ethic in me Picture Quote #1

Being attractive, it’s not something I do consciously. It’s incredibly flattering that people think I appeal to women. But that was a gift from my parents Picture Quote #1

Parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles are made more powerful guides and rescuers by the bonds of love that are the very nature of a family Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be one of so many, to have not just parents and siblings but cousins and aunts and uncles, an entire tribe to claim as your own. Maybe you would feel lost in the crowd. Or sheltered by it. Whatever the case, one things was for sure: like it or not, you’d never be alone Picture Quote #1

It’s our job - as parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles - to find books our kids are going to like Picture Quote #1

I have two boys on the autism spectrum. I don’t always know what’s best for them. However, I know there is grace for me in this area. I know there are parents in a similar space Picture Quote #1

It’s very important for the parents of young autistic children to encourage them to talk, or for those that don’t talk, to give them a way of communicating, like a picture board, where they can point to a glass of milk, or a jacket if they’re cold, or the bathroom. If they want something, then they need to learn to request that thing Picture Quote #1

It’s absolutely imperative for the parents and the typical kids to have time by themselves, to go out to dinner or even go on vacation while someone else cares for the autistic child Picture Quote #1

I can remember that on the shelves at home, there were these books by Thomas Wolfe. ‘Look Homeward Angel’ and ‘Of Time and the River.’ ‘Of Time and the River’ had just come out when I was aware of his name. My parents had a hard time convincing me that he was no kin whatsoever. My attitude was, ‘Well, what’s he doing on the shelf, then?’ Picture Quote #1

When I think of my work, I’m aware that I’m American and African at all points and times. And without a doubt, my experience and understanding of America was shaped by having immigrant parents Picture Quote #1

My parents split up when I was five, and that changed my life as well. I wasn’t used to seeing them away from each other. I had to get used to seeing my dad without my mom. Those things affected the music that I make Picture Quote #1

We gotta figure out a way to pay our teachers more. They’re like surrogate parents away from home. They have such a huge responsibility and they’re underappreciated and underpaid Picture Quote #1

Ours is an age of pedagogy. Anxious parents instruct their children more and more, at younger and younger ages, until they’re reading books to babies in the womb Picture Quote #1

I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents. A child needs a mother and a father. I could not imagine my childhood without my mother. I also believe that it is cruel to take a baby away from its mother Picture Quote #1

I’m a war baby: I was brought up with rationing, and my parents always had to struggle. I remember when I was sent to boarding school - Prior Park College in Bath - my father was asked how he was going to pay the fees, and he replied: ‘In arrears.’ Picture Quote #1

To your parents you are still that innocent baby, and sometimes even you will need your father’s hand and your mother’s lap Picture Quote #1
