Famous quotes containing the word son:

    I believe that what so saddens the reformer is not his sympathy with his fellows in distress, but, though he be the holiest son of God, is his private ail. Let this be righted, let the spring come to him, the morning rise over his couch, and he will forsake his generous companions without apology.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ... I suppose that it is not so easy to go home and it takes a bit of time to make a son out of a stranger.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    God’s Son went home. Among us it is whispered
    He cried the tears of men.
    Feeling, in fact,
    We have no need of peace.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
