Son Sir John

Famous quotes containing the words sir john and/or son:

“Down came the hairy talons
and horrible poison blade
And none of the garden noticed
that fizzing, hopeless fight.”
—Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

“Until you have a son of your own . . . you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son. You will never know the sense of honor that makes a man want to be more than he is and to pass something good and hopeful into the hands of his son. And you will never know the heartbreak of the fathers who are haunted by the personal demons that keep them from being the men they want their sons to be.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
