Called Mother

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or mother:

    When we called Papa, Papa,
    life was comfortable.
    When our children called us Papa, Papa,
    life was a torment.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.

    You’ve always reminded me of a seagull, Jo. Strong and wild and fond of the wind and storms. And dreaming of flying far off to sea. And Mother always said that I was like a little cricket. Chirping contentedly on the hearth, never able to bear the thought of leaving home.
    Victor Heerman (1893–1977)
