Fathers

Famous quotes containing the word fathers:

“Mothers risk alienating their mates if they expect them to hold or care for the baby exactly as they do. Fathers who are constantly criticized or corrected may lose interest in handling the baby, and this is a loss for everyone. The cycle is a dangerous one. Now the same mother feels bitter because she is no longer getting any help at home.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

“This last pain for the damned the Fathers found:
“They knew the bliss with which they were not crowned.””
—William Empson (1906–1984)

“There is too much fathering going on just now and there is no doubt about it fathers are depressing.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
