Fathers

Famous quotes containing the word fathers:

“The cats will be glad; the fathers feel justified; the mothers
relieved.
The sons and husbands will no longer need to pay the bills.
Childhoods will be put away, the obscene nightmare abated.”
—Louise Bogan (1897–1970)

“Our fathers water’d with their tears
This sea of time whereon we sail,
Their voices were in all men’s ears
Who pass’d within their puissant hail.
Still the same ocean round us raves,
But we stand mute, and watch the waves.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

“If fathers who fear fathering and run away from it could only see how little fathering is enough. Mostly, the father just needs to be there.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
