“My father is a marvelous mentor, and if you're going to have a mentor, the ones that work best let you make your own mistakes.

Everybody now-a-days is a father, there is father Mussolini and father Hitler and father Roosevelt and father Stalin and father Trotsky and father Blum and father Franco is just commencing now and there are ever so many more ready to be one.

“Our mythology tells us so much about fathers and sons. ... What do we know about mothers and daughters? ... Our power is so oblique, so hidden, so ethereal a matter, that we rarely struggle with our daughters over actual kingdoms or corporate shares. On the other hand, our attractiveness dries as theirs blooms, our journey shortens just as theirs begins. We too must be afraid and awed and amazed that we cannot live forever and that our replacements are eager for their turn, indifferent to our wishes, ready to leave us behind.” KnowsMatterHandsMotherTurnsFatherWishBehindsStruggleForeverJourneyShareSonReadyDaughterMythologyKingdomsCorporateIndifferentAmazedLive ForeverMother And DaughterOur DaughterReplacementsFather And SonAttractivenessEtherealReady To Leave Author:Anne Roiphe

“A good, finished scandal, fully armed and equipped, such as circulates in the world, is rarely the production of a single individual, or even of a single coterie. It sees the light in one; is rocked and nurtured in another; is petted, developed, and attains its growth in a third; and receives its finishing touches only after passing through a multitude of hands. It is a child that can count a host of fathers--all ready to disown it.” WorldChildrenHandsLightFatherIndividualGrowthReadyThirdsProductionsFinishedPassingPassingsHostMultitudesScandalFinishingPassing ThroughFinishing Touches Author:Sophie Swetchine
“Coming at twenty to his father's house, which was a very sink of filthy debauchery, he, chaste and pure as he was, simply withdrew in silence when to look on was unbearable, but without the slightest sign of contempt or condemnation. His father, who had once been in a dependent position, and so was sensitive and ready to take offense, met him at first with distrust and sullenness.” FirstsLooksFatherHouseSilencePositionReadyMetsPureTwentiesSensitiveDependentContemptOffenseDistrustUnbearableCondemnationFilthyChasteDebauchery Author:Fyodor Dostoevsky
