Called Father

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or father:

    Things that we do
    ‘Neath the Red, White and Blue,
    Though they can’t be called happy or glorious,
    Certainly keep us notorious.
    Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
