Called Father

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or father:

    “It is common knowledge to every schoolboy and even every Bachelor of Arts,
    That all sin is divided into two parts.
    One kind of sin is called a sin of commission, and that is very
    important,”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “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)
