Famous quotes containing the words dong and/or son:

    “With hym ther was a plowman, was his brother,
    That hadde ylad of dong ful many a fother.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    “However patriarchal the world, at home the child knows that his mother is the source of all power. The hand that rocks the cradle rules his world. . . . The son never forgets that he owes his life to his mother, not just the creation of it but the maintenance of it, and that he owes her a debt he cannot conceivably repay, but which she may call in at any time.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)
