Fathers

Famous quotes containing the word fathers:

“Fathers are still considered the most important “doers” in our culture, and in most families they are that. Girls see them as the family authorities on careers, and so fathers’ encouragement and counsel is important to them. When fathers don’t take their daughters’ achievements and plans seriously, girls sometimes have trouble taking themselves seriously.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)

“Every generation revolts against its fathers and makes friends with its grandfathers.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

“The land of my fathers. My fathers can have it.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
