Famous quotes containing the words son and/or john:
“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)
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death.”
—Bible: New Testament St. John the Divine, in Revelation, 6:8.
