Angry Son

Famous quotes containing the words angry and/or son:

    “Grovelling,
    intimate words,
    heart-stealing flattery,
    a tight embrace
    of my thinner-than-thin body,
    violent kisses all over—
    obviously,
    getting angry is worth the risk,
    but even still,
    I’m not interested.
    My lover
    is dear to my heart,
    so how could I be like that
    on purpose?”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “My son and daughter tell me where they are in very different ways. I know where my son is because I hear him. I know where my daughter is because she tells me.”
    —Anonymous Father. Raising a Daughter by Jeanne Elium and Don Elium, ch. 1 (1994)
