“[The] Hopi earth does contain my roots and I am, indeed, from that land. Because the roots are there, I will find them. But when I find them, [my father] said, I must rebuild myself as a Hopi. I am not merely a conduit, but a participant. I am not a victim, but a woman.” DoeSaidEarthFatherLandRootsVictimParticipants Author:Wendy Rose
“Our Founding Fathers were proud that Americans were trusted with arms because they knew that only when people are armed could they truly be thought of as free citizens. And that's where the circle closes. Those who want to deprive you of your right to keep and bear arms are intending to deprive you of your freedom, period. Like the criminals their policies encourage, these elitists know that it is always best to disarm victims before you enslave them.” PeopleKnowsWantFatherPolicyArmsBearsProudCitizensPeriodsVictimCriminalsCirclesTrustedFoundingOur Founding FathersElitistYour Freedom Author:Charley Reese
“When I was little I knew my father had been an orphan and had lived in an orphanage. I was curious, but my father wouldn't satisfy my curiosity. He told only one story about the orphanage, and that was of sneaking out and buying candy, which he sold to other orphans. He said he had a pretty good business going - till he was busted! I guess he told that anecdote because he was the hero of it and I suspect he was rarely the hero as a child, more often the victim. There's a photo of the actual orphanage on my website, and you can see it's a forbidding looking place.” ChildrenLittlesSaidStoriesFatherHeroVictimCuriosityCuriousBuyingSuspectsCandyWebsiteOrphanAnecdotesGood BusinessOrphanageBustedSneaking Out Author:Gail Carson Levine
“As we try to change, we will discover within us a fierce struggle between our loyalty to that battle-scarred victim of his own childhood, our father, and the father we want to be. We must meet our childhood father at close range: get to know him, learn to forgive him, and somehow, go beyond him.” KnowsWantTryingChildrenFatherStruggleChildhoodStyleIdentityBattleOur ChildrenVictimForgivingLoyaltyRangeFierceOur FatherLearn To ForgiveParenting Styles Author:Augustus Napier
